If accuracy means that the emotion and/or energy is conveyed than I will take that. You see sometimes artists/bands have bad recordings (because reasons and technology), especially the pre-stereo years. It is strange how early James Brown jams sound great but many early Chuck Berry songs sound badly recorded. Either way this is a complex topic...

More of the latter but it depends on what genres frequent the playlist. Personally, I prefer headphones for the former.

Its though, the real event is very different experience.
the home event tends to lean to the ultra resolution.

Just last night I went to a concert and it was very lofi sound.
Resolution was not a factor for my enjoyment.

The great thing about live performances is that the performers or the audience sometimes go off the rails, either in good ways and in bad. And both are memorable.

Yes to a thread. @Deep Funk is correct re. complexity

I don't think it's possible to recreate a performance. For good or bad and whether it's classical music jazz or metal. Too many variations at play. Including your listening space. My space is far from perfect but I still very much enjoy speakers, i think I did the best I could for the money I could spend. Need a total room redesign/remodel to make things better. Or just put on my headphones !

For me a bit more accuracy but I would still want both as it's two different experiences. That and I think it depends on the answer to the reverse - what are your favorite kinds of shows and live venues?

I typically prefer live music at smaller venues that don't require amplifications or speakers for the live music with the exception of instruments that need it - hence accuracy in speakers.
