Since I couldn't be there myself I have to rely on a reproduction, but I still want to hear it exactly the same way that he heard it...
It seems to me that the only way to do that would be to listen to the recording through the same speakers used for monitoring when the recording was made.
...uncolored, undistorted...
That presupposes that the speakers used for monitoring the recording were free of any coloration or distortion which certainly wasn't the case, and particularly so with older recordings.
The decisions made in the recording process, from microphone selection and placement, to the use of equalization, etc. are made while listening through the "filter" of the recording and playback system, including, and perhaps most significantly, the loudspeakers.
So what ends up encoded on the actual recording is ultimately the inverse of the "filter" through which the recording was monitored. In which case listening to that recording using loudspeakers which have less coloration and distortion is to hear less "exactly what he heard."
So if one's goal is hearing "exactly what he heard," depending on the recording, speakers such as the Iconics may very wll get one closer to that goal than yours.
