TONE


So, hear is my latest conundrum(well, perhaps that is a little bit of a  hyperbole)...
I enjoy my current system immensely, but do not actively compare it to others or seek listening to live music...I remain pleased with my systems dynamics, soundstage, detail, BUT am always wondering about TONE...being we all, more or less, have limited audio memory, I imagine only musicians who are regularly acquainted with the TRUE TONE of live instruments can recognize the accuracy of the TONE of an audio system....I guess I  kind of answered my own question, in saying I enjoy my system, BUT any advice/thoughts/suggestions about how one satisfies this concern?

If I read your question correctly, the only thing which would, as you say, satisfy your concern is to be able to find a way to listen to real unamplified music played by real unamplified musicians in a real unamplified space.
yes, basically I answered my own question....as i wonder about the faithful TONAL reproduction of my system, not being a musician, I need to go see live music more often and try to remember the tone of voices and instruments.....
@middlemass,

The best live unamplified music I have ever heard was on Beale St. in Memphis.  Just walk down the street and you can hear many street musicians playing Blues or Jazz and marvel in the sound. That gave me a good baseline for my system.
