The problem with your analysis is that true 'live music' has several distinct and definitive points of origin with each instrument and vocal eminating from a different physical position, whereas the stereo image effect is trying to be recreated by 2 sources in fixed positions. This creates issues that are just not resolvable by 'warming up' a speaker's sound. Live music has many sonic interactions (cancellations, reflections, deflections, etc...) that are separate and distinct, occurring at a point halfway between each distinct and separate sonic source.A conventional stereo setup cannot recreate any of these interactions due to the recreation from only 2 point (or line) sources - and to further add insult to injury most studio recordings never have the interaction point between instruments or vocals captured because each element is captured singly and mixed to create the illusion of a performance.
I would rather hear all that is on the recording - and deal with the room as a separate issue - then have a consistently warm 'additive' to the sound attempting to make it sound 'real'...
