Mike, the speaker and other audio gear reseller, disagrees with me

He proposed his own take:

  Federated Mike wrote:
Soundstaging: as the location on a virtual 3D stage of where a sound is coming from, usually on the side of the room where the speakers are

Imaging: as the spacial and textural definition of the musician and or sound - their outlines, their weight, etc.

I am not accustomed to have debate with somebody for whom Audio is just a next mortgage payment. Still, having the Trade English as my sixths language I feel I need to translate the Federated Mike’s ideas into common-sense English. If to do so, then what Mike said would be the following:

Soundstaging: a tradable commodity that easy to demonstrate and to quantify to an ignorant customer.

Imaging: non-tradable useless notion as it does not allow sticking a merchant nose into somebody’s listening experience.
