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 actually tried to get the live sound years ago. Large warehouse, high ceilings, 2 Klipschorns, 2 Jbl B460 18" sub woofers, 2 Jadis DEFY stereo amps, Dahlquist crossover Jadis pre-amp (JPL) etc.

I came VERY close, Stevie Ray Vaughn was AWSOME. Every one that heard it, including some serious audiophiles, had the same commement.

"I didn't think that was possable" as they slowly shook their heads.

It was a lot of fun.
