Yes I got that, which is why you need a string quartet recording to have more accurate and precise sonic localization than the real thing might have so your perception is at least similar to close up at a sighted concert. However, that being said on can still close the eyes and have a clear mental image of where the sound is coming from. Recent Memory plays a role for sure but not entirely.
One effect that cannot be related to sight is the change in distance perception do to perceived loudness of an instrument. A note played soft vs. loud is not the same at a distance and many instruments breathe. Soft sounds at the instrument loud expands like a bubble away from the instrument. Horns really do this but so do violins. The makes localization easier as well.
