RE: Exactly -

The Royal Albert certainly used to have a reputation for horrible acoustics.

True, true but they were greatly improved over thirty years ago following the installation of some innovative saucer-like diffuser thingies. The age-old joke that used to do the rounds that the Hall was the best value venue in the land because one got to hear a concert twice was no longer fair, not that that stopped us repeating the quip.

I remember going to e.g. Proms-season period band concert performances of Handel operas (James Bowman? - I may well still have the programme) with very acceptable acoustics back in the late '80s. Which, for a hall that size and shape, is not to be sneezed at.

However, fmak's close in seating position would have done a good job of hiding these characteristics, assuming they hadn't been somehow "fixed".

See above - you're thirty years minumum out of date. Fmak's points are fair comment.
