I prefer "they are here". Since I have never been to most concert halls, recording studios, etc. I don't know how they are supposed to sound. I do know my own sound room and acoustic space and how it performs.
Just my opinion...

"They are here" vs. "You are there"
Sometimes a system sounds like "they are here." That is, it sounds like the performance is taking place IN YOUR LISTENING ROOM.
Sometimes a system sounds like "you are there." That is, it sounds like you have been transported to SOME OTHER ACOUSTICAL SPACE where the performance is taking place.
Two questions for folks:
1. Do you prefer the experience of "they are here" or "you are there"?
2. What characteristics of recordings, equipment, and listening rooms account for the differences in the sound of "they are here" vs. "you are there"?
