Why I like my home system better than live music

Not sure which forum to place this, but since speakers are the most important in the audio chain besides the room, I'll start here. I know most audiophiles including me set live music as the reference to guage reproduced music in their homes. But I've come to the conclusion I enjoy my home system better than most live music. I can count on one hand musical venues that I think absolutely outclasses any system I've heard, but in most cases live music is just sounds bad. Is it just me who feels this way?

What kind of live music are you listening to? I like to attend regular performances of a local Orchestra, and though my listening preferences are for jazz, blues and rock, nothing sounds better to me than live, unamplified orchestra performance of classical music.

I do like listening to my own system, because I can control the volume and musical selections, which I cannot do at a live performance.

Cheers,
John
