When seated in a concert hall if the performers sound as if they outside or in the next room, there must be some big problem either with hall, or with one's hearing. However a lot depends on a given seating location and the ratio of direct to indirect or reflected sound. IME and generally speaking if all tickets were priced the same I believe it correct to say that few listeners would pick those seats where a large portion of the sound is reflected or indirect, and fewer yet where the sound seems to come from outside the room. I fail to understand why audio enthusiasts like 'airy' sound. I recall having read somewhere that no one wants to pay to hear the hall. (That's not to imply that anyone wants to listen to music in an anechoic chamber.)
