Live vs home system???

I have been listening to live music since the 60's and other than live accoustic I have not found live music that compares to a purposeful home system. I wonder what live music everyone wants to emulate? When live music is enhanced by electronics such as a Stones concert, are you looking to match that sound? Perhaps the sound to match is the sound in the studio?? I must say that the live music I have heard never has the imaging that my home system has, and I am never sitting exactly in the middle of a performance, and I never have to put earplugs in so my ears are not blown out with my home system. So the question is what live music are we comparing to? Thanks

Boston Symphony Hall has ATC's installed. WGBH studios has been using ATC's for as long as I can remember. Although, nothing can reproduce attending a live orchestra with good seats.

Learsfool,

Agreed. They would be used by the sound engineers for recording and mixing (selected for tonal quality for live acoustical instruments).

In fact, it seems I may be out of date - as WGBH has moved out of Symphony Hall and are in a new facility.
