A detailed handheld such as a Schoeps CMCH64 or an early Neumann handheld (KMS105 - not sure of the number, but it was basically a KM84 Neumann made happen as a handheld); clean detailed pre - take your pick (many to choose from, and needn't be wildly costly); speakers that you know will be exacting - Meyer, Nexo, ATC.

That said, you can have all of the gear components, but the room will play a large part in the overall sound. The previous posts that have noted the importance of the skill(s) of the persons running the equipment - I would corroborate the significance of those perspectives.

I recall visiting with the fellow that used to do some of Elvis's live gigs in the '70s and the reason E went with him is because he used studio-type set-ups, thus boosting the clarity. I suspect that which allows for greater nuance will serve what you're seeking. Best of luck.
