Live event and stereo system are sometimes nearer each other, but this is the exception in a very good audio room and with a very good audio grid...My criteria is not how much my audio system reproduce a live event "per se" tough, but more, is my audio system giving me a relatively realistic natural musical timbre for voices or instruments? If I feel yes, I sense more involvement of the heart and mind in the music sound...But now I appreciate live recorded files or cd, more than studio one, it was not the case some years ago...The reason is my audio grid can simulate more the living atmospheric presence of the concert participants....
And my system, remember, is relatively cheap cost, with good components link in the chain tough, the difference comes only from room treatment, and multiple others homemade low cost tweaks....
