Surely there must be more to it than "because of the distance". Does that mean the listener in the back of the auditorium hears things flatter than the patron in the front row? Loss of higher harmonics due to stage curtains etc. might make it sound flatter (total conjecture on my part). Just curious. Any acoustics people out there have an explanation?
