resolving
That for me depends on what I'm wanting to resolve. I like to explore almost every recording I put on so I take a variable approach to that piece of music. It's one of the reasons I design Tunable speakers. They allow me to focus on different parts of the recording, kind of like the focus on a camera. There's so much info on any recording that if a person wanted to they could open the soundstage up big enough to look at everything. Once you've got that huge stage around you it's a matter of how well you know your room/speaker combo and of course the rest of the chain. I tune my whole system so I can pick any part of the stage and focus it in or relax it. Honestly some of the best detail takes place when the stage is relaxed the most, which is surprising to those who start with brutally squeezed speaker settings.
