Recommendation on speakers for listening to live music

Cerwin Vega pro line or the xls 215s, peavey and jbl pro lines are all good for live recordings and get some pa subwoofers too I use a Cerwin Vega el-36dp and an cvx-21s 

Definitely horn speakers.  Check out Charney Audio website.  Great sound and nice design.  Live music with my Viking Acoustic Grande Voix dual horn speakers is mesmerizing.  Unfortunately, they are way above your budget.  

Triangle speakers would fit the bill

 

I like the Wilson Alexandria. Nice dynamics.  Natural balance.  Good soundstage, decent imaging for a mid-size speaker.  

Bloody hell man. You answered your own question. JBL. There is no better for what you seek. It's likely others on this forum have not experienced the beauty of the source material you mentioned. A lesson in history might benefit some but some, but likely most here would lend a deaf ear.... For me modern JBL studio monitors with properly phased subs are the hands down ticket. Yes, pun intended. Live sound at home. Amps. Source. Entirely different conversation. Peace ✌️
