Changing
I think its a given, that no home audio system - no matter what level and cost , ever re creates a live concert.
As audiophiles, we deprive ourselves of a sensory dimension , by eliminating the visual component.
I am finding more and more, that when I play an audio deficient DVD of a concert ,I get significantly more pleasure from this medium , than from audio alone.
Who, in their right mind would not want to watch Khatia Buniatishvilli playing Clare De Lune live , rather than just an audio ? That hair ! That mouth ! Those breasts!
The Rolling Stones at the Max - I have seen the concert at the Imax theatre -Unbelievable -Matches a live Stones concert (Very nearly)
I would like to see the likes of Tidal and Qobuz evolve and make available an audio visual streaming format , for future live concerts . 4K streaming is commonplace , so bandwidth is not an issue.
I am sure the purists will weigh in , but it is just my opinion.
Virtual Reality would of course be the natural and ultimate progression of this medium for audiophiles and their ilk.
