Yes but.......

Never is a very long time AND a large part of what you hear playing recordings has to do with how the recordings were made.

If you have a measurement microphone, record a mono track of you and your instrument and of familiar sounds and voices around your house, then play it back through decent headphones.

It is very possible to reproduce voices etc such that if played behind a curtain, it sounds like a person is standing there.

What it takes is something like a measurement microphone in reverse, flat response and acoustic phase and radiating from a single point in time and space as Dick Heyser described more than 25 years ago.

Those are not qualities present in many hifi loudspeakers however.
