In Reply to: Why Doesn't It Sound Live? posted by crutschow on March 21, 2007 at 10:16:50:
What makes music sound live to me is low distortion and unfettered dynamics. Frequency response and radiation pattern only matters to me if it makes the sound tonally obnoxious. Note however that something can sound live AND tonally obnoxious at the same time, anybody whose played real music knows that.When the kid down the street is playing his drumset in the garage you KNOW he's playing a real kit, even if the door is closed and frequency response is skewed and imaging is nonexistant. That's because the clues that say "live sound" are based on dymanics and low distortion.
Same thing when you walk past a bar with a live band playing inside, you know it's live music. And your knowing has nothing to do with any audiophile notions of what sounds good.
That's the way it works with me, evidently it works differently with others.
