How to get the impact of a live concert?


Yes, I know, big speakers, lots of power. : ) But I really am looking to "feel" the dynamics of the music, like you would at a concert. I'm not only talking about bass, although that is certainly a part of it. My wife and I were at Dave Matthews Band concert last night and it always amazes me, how impactful music is when it's live. Obviously, I understand they have a LOT of power driving a LOT of speakers, but they were filling the whole outdoors (outside venue). I'm only trying to fill my listening room. Would a good sub help? Different speakers?

I currently have Gallo Reference 3.1's and Klipchs Forte II's (Crites mods) driven by a Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista M3.

I'm a little confused Ecruz maybe you can set me straight are you asking us how to feel the impact of a live concert or are you wanting an exact duplication of the sound? I believe we can easily feel the power of the music but to duplicate the sound I'm not so sure.
Klipschorn: 105 dB at 1 watt input. Max 125 dB, which is about 5dB beyond threshold of pain, and requires about 125 wpc to reach it.

I had a pair of Altec 9845A studio monitors. About 101 dB on 1 watt input. I could make a big band record sound live in my dorm room with a 44 wpc *compact* (receiver w/turntable mounted on top). People were running around the dorm looking for the live band.
My BOSE 901's with wood glue coated paper cones gets me very close to a LIVE CONCERT now !!....WOW

Hire the Rolling Stones to play at your house.
Why would anyone want to try to sound like a live concert.Most times concert sound sucks.Just loud.
