RE: Just for arguement's sake Mr Inmate51 :)

I'm a crusty objective engineer..an audiophile's nemesis or nightmare. :)

My definition of speaker detail would be a speaker's ability to faithfully reproduce the signal without adding a voice of its own by either smearing phase relationships or by emphasizing or de-emphasizing (if that's a word) a single or a band of frequencies. Distortion also plays a significant role in this and I'm going to be looking at Floyd Tooles work on linear and non linear distortion and how humans perceive it. I want to understand this.

Adding more high frequency energy in a deadish room would help make the high end sound more available but in a lively room would hurt the high end. I would think that its easier to correct for a flat response whether you have to emphasize or de-emphasize the highs without affecting neighbouring frequency bands.

Its nice debating this with you BTW. :)
