that studio'ish sound


what sort of rig would give me that studio type tone....
where you sit there and can picture the musicians in the studio room...hear the room tones...
looking @ the 'hi budget' scale $$$$$(eg mistral or densen money)new or used
room is 16ft by 14ft...so i would need moniters...
i like anything w/ a electric guitar realy as far as music is concerned....
ive heard a naim rig and that is awsome but dosnt have that studio feel neither does linn or arcam(nice and paced but no room vibe).also heard an audiolab rig w/ b&w p6's and that wasnt it either(loved the toe tapping and warmth but no room vibe again)
any steer in direction would be appretiated.
thankyou

If you're really looking for that "studio sound," a pair of studio monitors in the nearfield will get you close. FYI though - you're only going to hear one aspect of the recording. Studio monitors are not the only transducers used to listen to the feed or mix. And, you're not really going to "hear what the engineer heard" no matter what you do or what gear you use, because:

The studio is not the final link in the recording chain. Most studio recordings need work - lots of work - before they are ready for release. That's where the mastering houses come in. Most of the serious mastering houses use "audiophile" speakers for listening.
