blow out their windows and likely cause a visit by the local police department. It is amazing the sheer power a large orchestral work with lots of percussion has live in a good concert hall and unlike live rock, no amplification and no distortion.A scaled-down reasonable facsimile is preferable for listening at home.
Just listen to live acoustic music, orchestral, chamber or jazz and come home and more your speakers around to get the closest match to the timbre heard live.
I own American speakers and properly placed the correct distance from the side and rear walls, they are not bass heavy. So if any American equipment sounds bass heavy it is not set up correctly, in my humble opinion.
On the other hand many European speakers I've heard sound bass shy, I always wondered why? Do USA concert halls reproduce bass with more authority? I've never been outside the country so I don't know, perhaps someone who frequents both USA and European concert halls could answer that.
Anyway a good speaker will sound "correct" with any kind of music, acoustic or electric.
I have not heard a "home system" of any price, anywhere that has more "oomph" with the tone controls set flat (where they are supposed to be!). Especially at levels greater than "live", I don't think it is possible for a home speaker system to move that much air and at those dB levels especially without hearing damage to the listener.
So in short I don't understand your post. Perhaps if you can tell us what speakers and what concert halls, it might help. Just to hard to wrap my head around your premise.
