Thick or Thin

I prefer the orchestra be presented like it was recorded and thankfully I have the system that does that that but it will never replace being at the actual performance. That's an impossibility 

I like to hear the individual choirs and solos but I also want the sound of the orchestra uncongealed with detail and texture.

I like to be able to place things. That said, once I was pretty far back for a concert and it was all blended but just lovely.

Sometimes I like like – steak – potato – green beans

Sometimes I like – beef stew.

And they're both equally "real."

I've never heard a congealed orchestra.
