One hears descriptions of “being there” and also of the performer “being here.” I would much rather imagine I’m in the audience than imagine someone is in my small listening room. That’s a personal preference that others might not share, but the latter form of realism is uncomfortable for me.
I think "performer being here" is generally preferred, due to preference for first side wall reflections and early arriving specular reflections from rear wall.
