since no component is perfect, it is a matter of optimizing the compromises for your set of priorities - which are likely different than mine. What sonic clues or characteristics are most important to replicating that "live" experience? The wide dynamic swing of horns? The neutrality and wide bandwidth of direct radiators? The coherency of full range electrostats? Guess which is at the top of my list. :)
Another factor that is important - to me at least - is achieving a lack of distractions. The OP mentioned power cords. What I've found is that all manner of power conditioning products can reduce the false brightness caused by EMI/RFI garbage found in and radiated into modern homes. Not because the grid is inherently noisy, but there are all sorts of switching devices we plug into our AC that happily pollute our circuits along with the presence of a range of radio/WiFi/cellular network signals.
