Romy,

I got your point
my answer was to Jordi´s post, I just used your answer to quote him and follow the line.

I just mean that it is not "true" that, as jordi wrote, a classical pianist is a "worst" performer just for playing classical, or that a jazz pianist is "better" just because jazz allows more improvisation.
or that a rock guitar hero has faster fingers just because hard rock guitars ask for speed.

I do agree that to optimize music reproduction, every kind of music requieres a different approach.
it´s hard to have relaxed "wood sounding" violins and sharp electric guitars at the same time.

I have found that if a system is directed to classical music reproduction, jazz will also be fine, but it will not be so good if you optimize to jazz and then go to classical.
so I choose the system based on classical, but also listen to jazz with it.

jazz can´t have the complexity of a large symphonic orchestra, however there´s also more jazz than Terrasson or Cassandra Wilson, for example it´s not easy to make the reproduction of an intense passage of a plain jazz piano trio sound like it should be.
In fact, it´s not easy for an audio system to make a single piano sound like a beaten string inside a resonance box, the fast attack on the string, the slooow resonance decay .....
