How do you get the "real" feel of music?

There is a certain "real" feeling that I get when I go to a live concert. It's more of "feeling" the music instead of "hearing" it. That feeling, I think, comes from percussion instruments. I'd like to get that feel in my home stereo but it's not there. In my home, snare drums don't pop, I don't feel the bass drum in my chest, and rim shots don't exist. Is there a way to get that presence in a small system?

I'm not rich, and I don't want to hear, "Scrap all your sorry equipment and get a Krell, Bryston and HSU..." so with that in mind, I've got a 12x16 room with:

Sony DVP-NS500 DVD
JVC HR-S5900 VCR
Harman Kardon AVR80 II as a pre-amp
Parasound HCA-1205 power amp

I have used
Definitive Technologies BP-6
Polk Audio R40, CS-175, and PSW-250
Bose Accoustimass 5
Bose R-41

Is there any hope?

Sasha,

I agree with Zaikesman 100%... I enjoyed reading your last
post. Although we all may never agree on one right way
to do things or the same product/s alot of us do appreciate others opinions, thoughts and experience/s.

I also failed to see the beauty in Sasha's post... I thought
it was pretty lame. There are a lot of people here that
know whats going on and know alot about "cables",
"dynamics" and "system matching" tell us something we dont know Sasha? There might even be some rich and famous people around here?
