Wow, what an intresting post, in its own right!
But then I wonder, what about the Music?
Count me in as a total slut that enjoys any "realistic" element of Sound I can gather as a significant part of a Musical performance.
At the same time, count me as again among those who have no time or patience for this sort of sophistry unless I can relate to the performance via the Sound, no matter the disparate number of "realistic" cues involved.
Taken at face value, this post reflects the sort of perspective that finds an army of "audiophiles" listening to "Casino Royale" and the Mercury "Pines of Rome" over and over again.
While nothing about these observations is "wrong", it still somehow makes me uncomfortable to read this stuff out of a much broader, more comfortable (to me) context.
Basically, while I am OK thinking of myself as an "audiophile" (or OCD hi-fi nut-bag) in search of Music at home, I am uncomfortable giving others the same slack.
Amir, please also say something that suggests you "get" the "Music" part of hi-fi, too, because, although it is interesting, this sounds pretty "detatched" from Music to me right now.
In other words (and making no conclusive assumptions about this...), if not for Music, why bother? (And where does the Music enter the picture?)
Best regards,
