Live venues I've been to fall into two categories. One is very diffuse sound with no ability to pick out images. Rock concerts are like that. The other is very clear separation in images. More intimate settings with acoustic instruments and singers with no mics are like that.

With the v4, the nature of the performance changes depending on how far you listen from them and how widely they're placed. The room of course plays a big role. If you sit up close, like you are, the room can play less of a role particularly if it's bigger. If you sit further back in the diffuse field like me, the room plays a bigger role.

They're both good and it's a matter of preference. It may not be wrong to say that the closer you decide to sit, the smaller your speaker ought to be. That way it can acoustically disappear.
