The whole audiophile obsession with "sound" (as opposed to, say, "music") really gets ridiculous when it's applied to live performance of acoustic instruments. Sure, it can be frustrating if you're in a hall that muddles the sound, but I think it's important to approach live performances with the understanding that they are *never* perfect. There are always going to be chipped notes, audience coughs, etc, and the idiosyncracies of the hall's sound is just part of that. Expecting a live performance to have the sonic "perfection" of your favorite recording is like expecting your wife to look like the airbrushed models in a magazine.
