Upon returning home after seeing the Lion King on Broadway, I put on the original cast CD. No comparison, the CD was vastly superior. I could clearly hear all of the lyrics, where that was not entirely the case in the theater. I don't think you need the world's best audio system for that to be the case.
Not long go I attended a concert by a group led by a fine young professional musician who happened to be the daughter of a well known high end audio manufacturer. The father was not only in attendance, he also took care of the sound system for the concert. In that case, the sound quality was unusually good. But even then, there were balance issues and some other minor problems that would not have been in a professional recording. In fairness, the father was moonlighting. If he provided the sound for concerts as a full time job, you can bet it would be very good.
