Why I like my home system better than live music

Have we all been brain washed into thinking live music is better than reproduced without any qualification? For me that qualification is significant. Unamplified live music should be the reference provided it is performed in a high quality acoustic venue. But enjoyment of music, at least for me, transcends whether the music is live or recorded, but many times in favor of reproduced. Some may chastise me for saying this, but I have a feeling many feel the same way but are afraid to say this publically or even admit it to themselves.

By "better" in the above post, I mean "more enjoyable" just in case someone tries to nit pick semantics.

I too like my home system better than Amplified live music.
Everytime I hear live music, I can hear the coloration
of the speakers they are using, the amps they are using, etc. The best thing I find about live, is you actually see the performers.

I'm not debating what is more enjoyable. Everyone's idea of enjoyable is personal. I don't think that's the true intention of the thread, but I didn't start the thread, so what do I know?

The simplest way for me to put it is that there's a presence to live instruments that is lacking in recorded music.

Kbark, reasons why one enjoys his home system more than live music IS the original intent of the thread.
