I don't associate British loudspeakers with an in your face presentation.
you misunderstand where I find the lobby. Where bathrooms and beverages are found just outside the hall. Way back there. Tiny image. Very different from what I'm accustomed to.
My season tickets are orchestra row N. Not in your face (which can sometimes be fun*) but further back. More like one of my mentors who liked it a bit closer but different from another who preferred the loge perspective.
*Once when I heard Carmina Burana at Woodruff Hall, seat selection was limited and I ended up in row C stage right. Up close and personal. If you're not familiar with that piece, it is quite dynamic. From that perch, raise the hair on your arm and startle the crap out of you dynamics. Not where I'd always like to hear a performance but that was exhilarating. :)
