Depends on the venue. In many cases I think you are right. But a few halls have better acoustics at the mezz or balcony level. Pittsburgh is definitely best in the balcony. Baltimore--well it changes every year as they change the acoustics--haven't sat in the balcony or mezz yet this year. The floor has some anomolies with delays coming off the new ceiling--they mezz is probably better as the delays won't be as long compared to the direct sound. Center in my opinion always sounds best--sometimes slightly stage side right--if it's a piano--I like to see the keys.
Sugarbrie--thanks for the input. I had not previously even had that suggestion--and I know quite a lot of people that go regularly and move around to try different acoustics--including some in the orchestra that don't have to play every piece. I will have to try the Terrace.
