"Soundstaging and imaging are, IMHO, two of the most critical pieces of the "live" sound." ??????????????????

Must be a lot more to live sound than soundstaging and imaging

Live amplified sound is mono.

No soundstage.

The image is a single point (mono).

Hall reflections would be roughly ten times later than reflections in a normal home listening room), but reflections are not part of any stereo effect.

Live ACOUSTIC sound is mono near the back of an auditorium.
Probably mono or near mono in the middle of the auditorium.
There may be a stereo effect in the front rows, depending on the physical separation between the sound sources and their distances from your ears.

If there was a solo acoustic guitar player singing at a club, for one example, there would be no soundstage and the image would be a single point (mono).
