The spatial cues from the recording should provide a sense of the original acoustic's dimensions which should provide a larger soundstage than the size of the listening room. Necessarily this would result in sounds appearing to come from behind the front wall and beyond the side walls. The room and positioning will determine whether this is actually achieved. The main point is having sufficient reduction in the room's refllective contribution and increase its timing relative to direct sound so that the listening room's size cues do not dominate the cues forming the soundstage.
Having sounds appear to come from the venue's walls well outside the listening room's confines is precisely what you are trying to achieve. It is not an imposition of an "airy" sound by the system, it is freeing the sound from room effects, positioning problems and speaker polar pattern artifacts
