How to get the impact of a live concert?

There is a small auditorium in the Music Museum in Phoenix, Arizona that has the very best sound I've heard in a venue like this. These speakers are clearly labeled Tannoy. I go to events there even if I don't know or have an interest in the performance, knowing full well, that I will come away enthralled.

Stringreen,
I moved to Surprise AZ. last year, and was told that museum was great, but I haven't gone yet. I will check it out.
What town do you live in?

Back in the 70's with the help of some friends, Jack Daniels, and most importantly a pair of Altec Voice of the Theater speakers, with Hendrix and the Doors, I truly believe we exceeded the impact of a live concert. Impact was not only heard but felt those speakers could literally bring down your home.

I owned a pair if Altec A7s for years...part of my PA all through the 70s (eventually bi-amped), and made cool (albeit large), sweet sounding (that middy horn and woody wood box) stereo speakers although somewhat colored sounding by today's standards. As a pro musician (and owner of a modern small but MUCH better than the "old days" PA system) and live sound tech I have to say this thread seems silly to me. Any good home system with full range speakers (I use a REL sub...love it) should be dynamic as hell or it's kind of pointless. Just turn the damn thing up if you need to. Gigantic live systems can sound better than ever, or worse if an idiot is mixing the show...and often are stupidly loud, which is lame.

You can get volume, you can get dynamics, you can get bass you can feel in your chest, but recorded music never sounds like live music. It's a simulation of live music. I am reminded of that at the most unlikely of times. Most recently, it was in the lower concourse at Grand Central Station. My wife and I were going downstairs to get something to eat on the train and over the din we heard some guitar music. It was a vendor promoting his self-produced CD and was playing thru a small amplifier, cranked up to be audible over the crowd. As I heard the first few notes, it was very, very clear that there was someone actually playing a guitar, a couple of hundred feet away, behind a pillar, in an acoustically very live, very noisy space. I think it's likely that you can get closest with rock & pop, which are usually highly processed, rely v. little on an instrument producing notes in real space (an electric guitar or piano doesn't sound like much w/o an amplifier and lots of processing does it?) & has a more limited dynamic range.
