What are the benefits of having the violins of a string section bunched up on one side rather than at the front of the string section? Woodwind sections and most choirs I have seen and sung in have the higher pitches at the front and the lower ones at the back. Obviously, composers used the stereophonic aspect of the violins to their advantage anyway.

It always sounds a little bit weaker to have bass coming from one side rather than through the middle, directly towards the audience where it is more perceivably 'underneath' the higher strings rather than to the side of them.

Why is it currently the way it is?

I didn't find the right solution
