and now I want to come to a studio session so I can get a better understanding. I do understand, for example, that when "Earth, Wind, & Fire" recorded music in the studio it sounded "different" than when I went to a live performance. It is probably all but impossible to get a "live venue" feel inside of a studio and it would be a mistake to try to achieve that. But if well recorded and mastered they both (live venue and studio) sound "live" but "different" because live comes in many shapes and forms depending on a lot of stuff including, more free style performances, the large hall and raucous fans of a live venue.

But I bet in the studio "smashing a bottle against a wall" still sounds "live" and you probably want to record it (depending on the effect you were after) so that it really does sound like it did in the studio.

95+% of the live music genre I listen to is acoustic or substantially so and so is the music I listen to. I just returned from the outdoor Farmer's Market down the hill and heard the Edna Brewer Middle School Band perform. Last night I attended the symphony, on Thursday I heard some pretty good gospel music (at a funeral), etc. They, of course, were all *very* different, but all clearly identifiable as"live". I also know what a bottle smashed against a wall sounds like. And if the recording does not capture it well I (and most) will be able to pick up on that, especially on your Merlin speakers which are very resolving. I'd be shocked if the designer did not use "live" as his primary reference when designing them.
