Imaging and Soundstaging lets you actually see the musicians and their instruments in the mind's eye and more importantly the space between. "Visual" spatial effects are NOT artifacts of the recording process as the better the recording engineer and the reproducing system the more lifelike these spatial effects are.PRaT (Pace, Rhythm & Timing) actually allow you to get "into" the music. It gets your body moving and your feet stomping. If PRaT is in the original recording then it is the job of the reproducing system not to destroy it. Some very expensive systems do destroy PraT.
Both PRaT and Imaging are important for the total enjoyment of music!
The best thing to do when listening to a new component is to close your eyes, listen to the music and not the sound. If it takes you away it has PRAT; if it doesn’t it does not have PRAT.

Happy listening,
