When did you ever hear a system sound so life-like


I am sure this has happened to so many of us, entering a room where the music sounds so damn close to live to discover it is an audio system.
What were the speakers and source?
If it's your own system mention the purchase that made the difference.

Actually , no it has never happened to me. I don't think I ever mistook a recording for a live performance. The two are. . . different. Neither is 'better' than the other. . Just different to my ears. G.
Well, this one time, I went to a bike shop in NJ where they had a NAD 3020 integrated amp playing into some Infinity 2-way bookshelf speakers (Model 2002 maybe; 8" woofer). The window was open and outside the shop it sounded like someone was playing a trumpet inside, but it was only the stereo system cranked up.

I'm pretty sure I have better gear than that now, but it just serves to show you how little it actually takes to fool the ear...
