Here is where we differ, if ever so slightly. I doubt we'll ever agree on certain points.I might say "A system must be a good catcher as well as a good pitcher". I do think it is possible to find and/or create a reasonable balance point between catching and pitching in an audio system. I think it is possible to "judge" recorded sound fairly accurately (on the upstroke as well as the downstroke) by using "informed subjectivity" - and I think it is our duty to try doing so...
Enjoy your system and the "music" playing therein!
