First off, this is only kinda on topic.
I've often heard the analogy of never having the live band playing behind you. I understand that ideally the sound stage should come from in front of the listener.
But in terms of pure music enjoyment, I frequently question having a primarily front sound stage. I realize that in the pursuit of reproducing a live band its an absolute must. But when I find myself deep into whatever music I happen to be listening to (Joachim Spieth is a good example), I tent to want to be completely immersed in it. I usually regard the purely front sound stage of live concerts to be more of a limitation than something to be emulated.
I say this knowing that I haven't listened to 'professional' systems of any sort, so I'm really looking for somebody to tell me that I'm crazy and that front sound stage is t3h win.
