... The two biggest types of live music are probably amplified & unamplified.
However both amplified and unamplified music fall in to a myriad of sub categories of venues.
Such as;
Large Entertainment Centers.
Concert Halls - modern and old
Town Halls
Theatres
Outdoor stadiums
Outdoor amphitheaters
Outdoor paddocks & parks & shopping malls & car parks.
Clubs & bars - from 30 seat to 500 seat - low ceilings, high ceilings.
Then you have many of the indoor venues have different floor coverings, wall and ceiling materials.
My point is, the same band playing the same music is going to sound different in each venue. Plus, the same band will sound different in the same venue depending upon where the listener sits or stands.
Throw into the mix the enormous difference in ambient noise in each venue makes the nonsense about the goal of a home system is to sound like live music to be almost meaningless.
I like live music and I know how good & bad it can sound. But I have never tried to make my system sound like a particular live venue other than the venue it is in, my home!
Ok, I step down from my soap box.
