You are there vs. They are there


So what is the difference?  Do I have it right?

You are there: the vocal and soundstage starts at the plane of the speakers

                         and recess backward behind the speakers plane.

They are there: The soundstage is forward into the room with the vocal

                          reproduction in your room.

 

Which would you prefer?

I agree with @sns, one can have both You are there vs They are there. I also have time aligned horns that are actively Bi-amped and project a 3D image with real life scale. It’s somewhat recording and system dependent. My system plays on the slightly cool side of neutral with gusto and passion. For in the what it’s worth category, the equipment, room, and recording all play their part in the 3D illusion of sound reproduction.smiley
