Peter -Your points are well made and I agree. I put those adjectives out there to maybe better define what I meant. Ultimately none of those characteristics on their own mean much when it comes to communicating the intent or the emotion of the music. As one example, I've owned way too much gear over the years to know that just hearing more detail is going to move me. A better way of describing it I guess would be to say that it is the overall effect or gestault that matters. I just tried to quickly piece together a few of the obvious parts that help make that come together.
My Tivoli desk radio is a whole lot of fun and I've heard some "lesser" systems communicate the emotion of the music much better than some big rigs. Of course it is obvious that they don't have the top or bottom end, etc. but they are getting something right that other systems do not.
I was about ready to throw the towel in completely on this hobby since just about everything that I was hearing left me unmoved. There was "better" sound, in a sound effects kind of way, but I wasn't moved or felt any closer to understanding the composers or performers intent than before. It left me cold. But I was fortunate enough to run across some gear that gave me what I wanted from a system.
