Stradivari violin


12 years ago I've been listening to Moscow Virtuosos performing with no microphones in one of the best philharmonic halls in Kiev.
The soloist-conductor Vladimir Spivakov was performing on Stradivari's violin.

Is there any ways to record/reproduce Stradivari violin so that we can distinguish it through the speakers?

If anyone had a chance to listen to Stradivari violin on the live concert, please describe any kind of system if the one exists to record/reproduce the way that you can say that the musician plays on Stradivari violin but not on any other...

I do believe that it's not possible to distinguish through any kind of speakers.

Interesting thread. ……. I seem to recall hearing that the Smithsonian Institution has chosen Apogee's Diva speakers to reproduce as accurately as possible, the recordings of Mozart's piano that is on display at the Institution. Considering that the piano is a stringed instrument, wouldn't the chosen instrument (Strads, Guarneris, del Gesu etc) individual definition be just as audible on the Diva's as Mozart's piano from a similar piano?
