Does Your System Sound Like the Real Thing?


I don't mean close, or it's pretty good at suggesting, or if you close your eyes and really, really concentrate. I'm asking whether your system is indistinguishable from live performances.

If the answer is yes, then congratulations! If the answer is no, do you even think it's possible? And if you do think it's possible, how far are you willing to go?

i feel this would be tough to accomplish. for one thing, you would have to go see the concert when it was recorded so you personnally would have a reference on how it sounded live. then you would have to trust the recording engineers that they did a perfect job at placing the mikes and recording every bit of info. if the engineers didn't do a good job, then it wouldn't matter how good your equipment or power is, it will not sound the same. also, i'm not sure that i want my system to always sound like the real thing. I love concerts, and go to quite a few of them each year, but i also like the calmness of listening to a smooth jazz cd or album just to mellow out after a long day at work.
