Hell No.........

One thing very few systems get right is the tube "distortion" of electric guitar.... On a live set, it's warm, deep, full of tone..... Reproduced on a home system, the overtones often sound "harsh", but they shouldn't. (This is analogous to "harsh" strings from an orchestra. They never sound like that live.)

The drums, a lot of the acoustical qualities can be heard directly from the kit. It should be noticed distinctly from the sound reinforcement.

The one thing that's hard to capture on a home system is the sheer scale of the live rock event. This hold true for orchestral music as well.
