Although Levinson appears to have missed the boat with respect to musical content, he did show what can be done with Sound, per se. I still use his demos as a sort of mental yardstick with respect to the quality of the sound he did "reproduce".
With respect to the "continuous midrange", the problem has always been to include both the continuousness and the unlimited energy simultaneously. This is why we don't all use single drivers, 2-ways or old Quads.
This concept of continuous midrange must also include the "spikey" quality of "treble" that is embedded in natural sound but gets mixed, brushed in and over repro sound as "HF". And the LF has to have both power and the ease to come and go like a ghost.
It seems to throw hi-fi to "reproduce" the sheer density and power of instrumental and vocal music. In live performances, even the quietest passages - even silence - errupt with power we just can't seem to get from the single drivers, etc., or even the big hi-fi systems, for that matter. I actually get what some of the single driver crowd like about these small systems; I just can't abide the shortcomings. And so it goes, a channel at a time, trying to get the density and power as we chop up the "midrange".
