hi romy,
it seems the audio review is concerned mostly with the science of reproduction of sound "event", it is easier language than the the language of aesthetics in an art form.
funny that when people go to a museum and have an emotional reaction to a painting, they go to the museum store and buy a poster for their home. no one would bother trying to write a review that the poster is just like the real thing. people do the same thing with their CD bought after the concert, but now there is a whole industry to tell us that if we buy the right power cord we can recreate this event in our listening room. its like if people go out and buy some black and white paint and recreate a jackson pollock in their living room instead of buying poster, then they go online to discuss best brushes to use.

it is not so much a reply to your post, as you aren't looking for one, but a general comment. i am not trying to say anything either.
