Maybe at least once every day for the last 30 years by the pesky wife!My point, and I actually had one, was that live music played in a relatively small room like a typical home audio room or home theater does not sound like live music played in a nightclub or auditorium.
Sometimes live music doesn't sound that good at home.
You say the cello played in your room sounded great.
That may mean you have a room with good acoustics, you lucky guy, although one acoustic instrument played solo is not a strenuous test (I would expect it to sound good in most rooms, especially if you sat close to the musician).
A better test might be six people singing Christmas carols while someone plays the piano, with your ears located at least as far away from the singers as the normal distance between your ears and speakers when listening to a recording.
That has happened many times in my room and my too-reverberant room / nearby huge windows made it sound like 12 people were singing from about 20 feet away across the room. That's why I listen to recordings with my ears only 4' from my speakers. Live complex music doesn't sound so good in my too-reverberant room. My wife playing her piano solo is okay, not great, but that's not a great room acoustics challenge. A great challenge is listening to the wifey try to learn the Mission Impossible theme on her piano.
