RE: "Tableau", is that what you hear when you hear live acoustic music in a concert hall.

"With all due respect, any concert hall where the best sound is limited to 10% of the seats is a poorly design venue, and 10th row center is almost never the best sound."

You are correct when it comes to the sound in general..... But I was referring specifically to "soundstage".....

There is still "soundstage" in better venues, in less-than-ideal seating locations..... It's just that it would be small (seated up high) and/or "unbalanced" (seated off-center)..... (If one is seated right at the stage, the presentation would be highlight the musicians closest in proximity to the listener, the back of the orchestra is often heard off the walls around the stage and the ceiling/stage shell.) The presentation provided by most recordings and systems are idealized to what one would hear seated at or near the center, from the fifth to tenth rows.
