I’m confused. Please explain.

Hello everyone. There are quite a lot of posts of people wanting their system to sound like real instruments like you would hear at the symphony. I don’t see the importance of it. I’ve been to the symphony one time recently and it was nice but until then I’ve basically only listened to music  made in a studio, amplified and then mixed. I have been to concerts but even that music was at least  amplified. 
Surely you listen to more than just classical music. Are you saying studio music can somehow be made to sound like symphony instruments? I  want my music to sound like it did when it was recorded if possible. I enjoy many genres of music so I don’t see why I would desire it to sound like I’m at the symphony. I consider my system neutral so it is true to the recording. Thank you for your thoughts. 
 

Regards 

Ron

Is this one of those womp, womp moments?

And that's our hobby in a nutshell: I want a particular sound but I don't really know what that sound is.

That's why I settled for the sound I now have as good enough for me. If circumstances and finances change, then so will my system. Many failed attempts preceded my present stance and now it's very enjoyable. Those who have heard it love the sound. 

Through planning, luck and plain old serendipity, I'm now at the point of diminishing returns. Until then, I'm done fretting over it.

All the best,
Nonoise
