I believe a home system can almost simulate a live event 'the real thing' accurately. But this can only be acheived if the recording is of a very high quality.Even if the recording is good it is not likely that one can play their system at the same volume level as the live event without bothering the neighbors, thus the perceived difference.
There was a small band playing where I work. I really didn't have time to listen. But I noticed how the kick drum sounded so pronounced. When I got home I wanted to see if I could get that sound. I put on a recording of Terry Edmunds (blues rock) which is well recorded, and I heard them live at the bar a few years ago.With an adjustment to the sub I think I came pretty close to the real kick drum, but I have to admit it was still was lacking.
Some live events however are recorded well but the venue is no good and you can hear that in the recording.So I guess what I'm trying to say is that for a home system to sound almost as good as real instruments the recording needs to be done in a studio with the highest recording standards. Then and only then can it be accurately simulated on a home system.
Any thoughts?
