I never did chase or attempt to massage my system to sound live. Essentially what I have always been after is correct timbre, pitch and intensity. A very very close second is weight and dynamic range.
All of us or nearly all have been to a rock concert in a great sounding venue and the person running the soundboard also got it right. Plenty of electronics going on there as well as many decisions. I don't expect my system to reproduce it exactly as I remember it, but I do expect that all of my criteria in the paragraph above be met. Many times this comes down to reproducing the bass properly, not a simple task.
Example: I saw Sting at Radio City Music Hall and the CD came out some time later. "Bring on the Night". Fabulous music, fabulous venue, awesome CD. Makes me know all the work was worth it.
Please listen to the track "I Burn for You". Several mega-dollar systems I've heard choke on that track.
Russ, we're on the same page.
