Has anyone considered reverse stereo playback?

My experience with recordings in the home stereo cd playback is that they are many times a reverse soundstage from the actual concert experience. It really bothers me that the piano, guitar etc. are on the opposite side of my room from what it was in the actual concert. I am at the point of reversing my speaker wires to better capture the "concert experience". Does this bother anyone else? What have you done about it? Is this something I should accept?

This is a MAJOR PROBLEM!
ONLY IF you play the DRUMS,
like myself.
ALOT of RUSH cd`s will, for example
have Neil Peart`s Hi-Hat in a
LEFT microphone, HOWEVER, IF you go
see Rush Live, Neil`s Hi-hat cymbals
would be coming out of the RIGHT side,
OR STAGE LEFT, as in EXIT...STAGE LEFT!
Sorry, had to throw that in there.
I`ve also noticed this on alot of
Fates Warning cd`s as well.
It makes it hard to play along to the
music while playing the drums at the
same time!
HOWEVER, this problem will NOT effect
ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT! ONLY if you play drums!
