I don't think you're understanding...

It's not THE way of judging a speaker, but it does give you an insight. I don't know why, but once you can't see the speaker and you've divorced yourself a bit from the room, the only question you can really ask yourself is "does it *sound* like someone's playing live or just a reproduction?" It takes imaging out of the question and substitutes tonality/reality. Don't know why that's such a hard concept. It's not an audiophile trick, it's a music lover's trick.
