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?

@spenav + 1 Even if one made one's own recordings, hardly practical in most cases unless recording yourself or people you know, would the mic be a foot away? 10 feet away? At the back of the room? Totally different sound from each place. And would you be listening back in that same room? 

@spenav - there are photographs of Abraham Lincoln; Matthew Brady, for one,was a very well known for his Civil War photographs. Photography was about daguerrotypes then.
