RE: Are you a tone guy or a details-retrieval guy?

When I go to listen to live music (A symphony or Jazz) I don't really hear a lot of detail. I don't hear chair squeaks, hyper precise location of individual instruments - as far as I'm concerned that stuff is just an artifact of high detail enhanced components- an interesting circus act but not really real reproduction of music. What I hear when I go to a live concert is lots of tone a - warm enveloping event. I try to reproduce that in my home to the extent possible. For me that means tubes and Magneplanars. YMMV.
