I think the problem is like the chicken/egg dilemma - what needs to be there first? If we don't have the music appreciation first, how "good" can the playback be?. If we have achieved a technical solution, how can that lead to better appreciation of music?

I personally think that appreciation of music and audio are not connected. I enjoy music best when studying a score with no noise around me at all. Maybe a suitable glass of wine and cheese or something. I prepared Stravinsky Firebird for a recent concert mostly in my head. It was far more 3 dimensional than even the playing on stage. I don't think that I will even be able to translate that image in my head to playback. When I listen to the recording now, I am kind of torn between what went on in my head with the score, what I heard on stage, what I felt when playing and now the image in my living room. I wish that I could connect the dots........... I have no idea where to start. It sure isn't with a better tweeter!
