I will be the first to agree that the methods of measurement we have today are very inadequate to describe the capabilities and shortcomings that are germane to evaluating sound recording and reproduction equipment. They are inhereted from a far simpler time when they showed us differences in more primitive equipment. By those standards, equipment which is textbook perfect is not adequate in itself to satisfy the requirements of subjectively accurate sound reproduction. There is much about temporal and spatial aspects of sound as it is perceived which we do not know and for which the systems of recording and playback are totally inadequate to satisfy. The basic research has not yet been done. Even within the limited paradyme of what we do have, we can't reliably correlate the objective lab tests we perform with subjective experience with them. Don't look for answers to these issues from the people who offer the current crop of solutions, they aren't even asking the right questions and they certainly don't have a clue as to the right answers.
