Soundstage stretching from the speakers behind.
The shouting at you forward projection of vocals is not something I would like or would be generally accepted as a good thing under almost any circumstances.
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?
