"I did not mean to be flippant. I meant to be dimissive.
This topic is not worth arguing, because it all hings on what you are looking for in reproduced sound. If you are one of those listener who, like me, gets goosebumps from the sound of live, unamplified acooustical music, then you will probably want to hear as much of that sound as possible at home, even though it may be impossible to reproduce perfectly. To you, real sound and reproduced sound are inextricably related.
If all you are looking for are sounds that make you feel good or enhance your enjoyment of the music, then, of course, you are not going to care whether or not the reproduction sounds anything like the original, and you will not have the slightest idea what old farts like me are talkning about."
