No. It's all a recreated illusion. And I'm glad of it.
1. In my apartment, every disk I play Always sounds exactly the same. Never had I been attended a Live Performance and gotten EXACTLY the same performance as the night or two ago playing the same program. Nor have I performed and experienced that "same" performance as the night before. For the better or worst.
2. A solo artist with a guitar would fit in my apartment. 4 musicians maybe. Symphony Orchestra, No way.
3. There is more to music than achieving high SPLs of Live Music. What about the pianissimos? Or the No Play (rest) notes. The space between the notes you hear. Just as important.
Holy moly! Drums?! I played in jazz bands. When we were all were mic'd. Most of the time the drum set was not. When we were not mic'd, I/we could not play over that drummer. In an orchestra of 100+ musicians. There usually is only 1 each percussion instrument. When there was a need for multiples of them, the 100 became 150+. When I got called in as a "bumper" the usual 4-5 of became 8 of us in the french horn section.
4. My system can't. If it could I would get evicted if I even come close to the spl of a live performance. My neighbor had taken to his electric guitar 2:30 in the morning. Bars closes at 2. I thought it was hilarious. Landlord didn't. Girlfriend is still here. He is not.
