Recommendation on speakers for listening to live music

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation on speakers for listening to live music. I have a big collection of live Grateful Dead, phish, jazz, etc.. This is music on cd or vinyl that was recorded live. Are there quality speakers that cater to both live and studio recordings. Would be using McIntosh power amps mc252, mc275 etc.. Thank you very much for any advice.

I have 2 systems

both low power tubes

 

one has Ref 3A de Capos

the other Klipsch Quartets (horns)

 

I like both but the de Capos are much more refined and the Quartets always feel like live music

Klipsch, McIntosh, Altec from the Grateful Dead’s deep Sotheby’s auction

Horn based speakers.

For no fuss/new check out the new Klipsch line (here's a good sound demo of 3 models and I often see B-Stock for sale).

That's all not for live music. These recommendations above are for RECORDED music. For live music speakers and equipment probably will be way too loud for indoors.
