Of course all three together will provide a better listening experience.
This is the problems with the words they're limited to definitions on a page. And relating an experience to the word is not easy to do. Some speakers will get the left to right thing down great. Others may get the layering front to back thing down but the "live" factor is a difficult one to express in words. Fred tried to relate it and it's not bad articulation but I'll have to continue to try and isolate what is and how to express it.
