For rock concerts, and big jazz events, the statement above that a good home system might provide better sound is true.
But for classical, especially large scale orchestral music, played in a good concert hall, even the best systems (like an MBL Reference System), are only able to give you a (good) impression of how it really sounds.
Like you, I also like to sit, with my beloved wife, in the front rows.
We usually take (took?) the middle of the 5th row.
It's fantastic to hear and see the musicians in action.
