RE: Timbre, attacks and releases - yep

Semi-serious amateur musician here. I know what acoustic instruments played by good musicians sound like, if it doesn't sound real, it bugs me.
Attacks/releases - "decay" is probably a better term than release - is more than rhythm, it tells me if the system can accurately reproduce fast, low-level micro-dynamics without smearing or omission. Soooo many audiophile systems that demo great on "girl with guitar" simply congeal into a puddle of mush on large complex classical or big band.
I'll get off my soapbox now...
