Amir, I hope that "real Music" can move you emotionally. I think and hope that your idea of "accurate reproduction" includes your own (appropriate) emotional reactions to the Music. On the one hand, I cannot simply accept that "detailed" Music is "accurate" if it does not move me. In other words, the "emotional" and "intentional" information needs to be there before I think of playback as "accurate", in the first place. Like Romy has said outright, if it isn't "musical" it isn't "accurate". Looking more closely at the fine points, I think it is possible to be emotionally involved without "all the details". And I agree that some systems seem to present plenty of details while sounding lifeless. However, I certainly would not say that these are two poles that represent The State of the Art. IMO, the "current State of the Art" melds and thereby obviates these "poles". Changing my direction but staying on the subject, I have used "efficient" speakers for many years because they strike me as being more "emotionally responsive", "tracking the Music" more closely, including "the emotional parts". Sure, there are amps and "other considerations", but, generally speaking, I would "recommend" to anyone who asked to start with "musically responsive" speakers, and at least to start the intellectual exercise of mentally building a system there. I have heard to exhaustion that "accurate" means "cold" and/or "dead/lifeless". What a load of crap! I hope nobody reading this site accepts this ridiculous notion!
