Recommendation on speakers for listening to live music


Hello, I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation on speakers for listening to live music. I have a big collection of live Grateful Dead, phish, jazz, etc.. This is music on cd or vinyl that was recorded live. Are there quality speakers that cater to both live and studio recordings. Would be using McIntosh power amps mc252, mc275 etc.. Thank you very much for any advice.

The horns would be too high pitched , they would make you feel uneasy, anxious, and not,want to sit at high volume on the couch. UNLESS KLIPSCH HAVE FIXED THEIR HORNS, AND FREQUENCY OF THE CROSSOVERS 
 

 I sacked my old speakers, piled up in basement, kept my old mid-fi BIC Venturi v830 and V630 pairs in basement system, AS THey have a much warmer tone than previous speakers I used.

 

the sound from your speakers depends a lot on the recording itself, we have quite a lot of live lps and cds , some sound like a 6th generation cassette dubbed 1984 Destruction demo, some are simply flawless.  Our stereo is quite nice , some recordings are tight, and sound great, others are no bass, harsh,crowd, or not mixed properly    Use your ears, as a bad recording in, is a bad sound out no matter how much your system costs  enjoy the hunt  

 

Ohm Walsh speakers will give you that live band in my living room experience plus you won't be restricted to sitting in the tiny sweet spot of all the other box speakers. 

Heard some Klipsch Jubilees today and when I closed my eyes, felt like the band was in the room!  The room was huge, and the sound filled it completely.

I was at a live orchestra performance and it dawned on me: Hey, this sounds just like my Klipsch Heresy IV speakers!

so… that’s my observation
