How to get the impact of a live concert?


Yes, I know, big speakers, lots of power. : ) But I really am looking to "feel" the dynamics of the music, like you would at a concert. I'm not only talking about bass, although that is certainly a part of it. My wife and I were at Dave Matthews Band concert last night and it always amazes me, how impactful music is when it's live. Obviously, I understand they have a LOT of power driving a LOT of speakers, but they were filling the whole outdoors (outside venue). I'm only trying to fill my listening room. Would a good sub help? Different speakers?

I currently have Gallo Reference 3.1's and Klipchs Forte II's (Crites mods) driven by a Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista M3.

One may get close to the live impact...but will never truly get there with today sources.

There are many home speakers that can reproduce live dynamics if you put a band in the middle of them (lascalas, khorns, and many other horn speakers).

NO ONE can disagree that multiple sets of lascalas driven with 1kw of crown power could reproduce a band VERY loudly....(makes me wanna puke just thinking of that combo)

but the source is the issue IMO...
