"I am there" vs. "They are here"
Generally, it's not the system(s), it's the recording(s). Close, multi-miked recordings put the performance in your room - there is no recording space ambience. Single point/stereo miking should put you in the recorded space. Systems may vary in t...

Please explain clipping
Clipping occurs when an amplifier stage cannot supply either enough output voltage swing or current to the load. It is not really related to frequency, except that speakers often have a lower impedance in a certain frequency range (usually lower f... 
"Pace", it's importance for enjoyment?
