I dont think that listening a real concert and listening a files or a cd are the same thing at all... Even if a correlation in terms of sound space is possible, the 2 experiences are too much different to reduce one to the other....
And where to sit in a concert ? There are no rooms,or no live concert halls that are identical et possess the sames acoustics, and we are all different individuals with different goals, then I had no ideas how to answer that...For me listening my audio system and a real concert had no relation at all,other than an acoustic methaphorical one,because there is many interpreters in the audible chain of events between the musician in the room or in the studio, the sound engineer the mixer, etc and the listener...All these people had a different experiences...
