Perhaps we'll just agree to disagree.Quite different than the kind of rhetoric you find in Stereophile reviewer's comments...
I don't find that to be the case at all. Let's dissect your examples:
this product is not as liquidly transparent in the highs as my reference system,
Translation: Why does the high frequency reproduction of A not provide the same resolution and ability to recreate the recorded space as component B?
Seems to be exactly the same question you posed only at the opposite end of the spectrum. The same could be said for your other examples of midrange clarity and ability to handle micro dynamics.
We had another conversation about my current Crown amp here. I raised the same observations where the Crown is superior to the NAD in the midrange, but fails at the top. Similarly, what surprised me most when I got the Audio Research SP20 preamp was how well it delineated the lower end of the dynamic range scale. I'd never thought about that before until the difference was put in my face. Is that because it has a stiffer power supply than 100 watt amplifiers? Dunno. But it works.

I think we may have to do that- agree to disagree.
I see my case as different from your example - it's the difference between objective and subjective.

"As in: why do two preamps that measure the same for frequency response and output impedance have noticeably different low bass with the same power amp and speakers? No problem hearing the difference; but I'd like to know why."
I guess I just find your "hearing the difference" as an observation in conflict with the objective.
