Your Preference: Resolution or Fullness?


Just saw this mentioned over at another forum and thought it'd be good to hear your thoughts. Do you place a bigger importance on a speaker's resolution or its overall fullness of sound? This can apply to any type of speaker model, whether it bookshelf/tower, etc.

All other parameters being equal, I would lean toward the fullness side. This is another way of asking detail (resolution) or musicality (fullness).

I have gone in both directions, but I find that when I go towards musicality my listening sessions last longer. When I have leaned towards resolution, it can be intoxicating for demoing gear to friends, but ultimately, I find that listener fatigue starts setting in sooner and sooner, and my listening sessions start becoming shorter. As always, YMMV.
