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?

I am in agreement with jmcgrogan2 on this one.The best sound I ever heard was Pink Floyd delicate sounds of thunder tour in Mpls,Mn at the Metrodome.

Irv when you listened to the soundlab's was it a tube or solid state amp driving them?
I have M2's driven with tubes and cymbal stricks are very lifelike on my speaker/amp combination;I find it strange that a soundlab speaker failed to impress on that test;maybe Mapman is right with a upstream system error.

Irv-I find my setup to come very close to my standard of reproduction that being the Pink Floyd concert in Mpls,Mn during the delicate sounds of thunder tour,extreme dynamic swings probally not at the level of a full orchestra though.My M2's are not the newer panels but I am still very happy with them and are the finest speaker I have owned thus far.I think if you get a chance to hear a soundlab again do so as it might change your opinion;I have never heard the Revels or B&W but I know they get excellant press and owners swear by them.
