But here is something else to try to notice/play around with. Sit as far back as possible, right next to the back wall if possible and you'll hear sounds coming from even further back. Its like 5.1 home theater, but even in a home theater setting the surround sounds are to the side of the head when coming from the rear speakers... but in my setup I can hear instruments, clapping, background vocals, etc. coming a good 5-8 feet from behind me... its uncanny and scarily real at times, like you are in the center of the presentation.
