>But I will say that the gap between live sound and recorded sound played back through two loudspeakers seems to close as the musical event portrayed becomes simpler and/or smaller in size. Orchestral-sized events are the worst "live reference" one could possibly choose if one wants to fine tune one's system, in the hope that our loudspeakers will one day sound like live music.<
I dunno. Some loudspeakers are clearly better at reproducing large ensemble works than others. Such as large line sources. And anything that can play loud, deep, and clean, with a uniform on-axis and polar response. Sure, we can't completely reproduce the concert hall experience, particularly with two-channel stereo, but we can produce a remarkable sense of being transported into another and larger acoustical space, one in which the walls of the listening room seem to melt away.
