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.

Stringreen,
I moved to Surprise AZ. last year, and was told that museum was great, but I haven't gone yet. I will check it out.
What town do you live in?
The only speakers that I ever owned that reproduced the sound I would hear at a concert are Klipschorns. I am sure there are others, but I'll bet they are horn designs as well.
Mapman,
I have been lusting fir a pair of Ohms for years, but always went in another direction. But there is still time.
I believe that you are right, because I respect your opinion, and because I was just recalling an experience that I had at an audio show in NYC. Richard Shahinian was demonstrating the Diapason/Double Eagle system, and the dynamics were astounding.
