I think its easier to reproduce a good studio recording in every system. Most studio and recordings in general aren't very good but when you do find a good one it is special.
It is harder to do in a live venue compared to a studio that is more controlled if you will. When you add the spatial information of a live venue compared to a studio which is smaller and more controllable 99% of the time its another reason to "vote" for the studio being easier. I realize there is a counterintuitive aspect to that statement in that a larger venue "should" contain more spatial cues.
All that said it ultimately falls in the engineers hands in terms of the room and its character (studio or live venue) and the gear used and techniques used to make the recording. Recordings vary so much with so little data on the album cover most times to let us know possible reasons why. I do find a studio recording most often does a better job in left/right image but a [good] live recording can get front to back space (harder for a system to reproduce IMO) better because that "space" is more often there in a live venue.
