mahgister - the voicing of the speaker for a particular sized environment is also a form of embedding, even without room treatment. It’s not just the measurement of the frequency response coming out of the loudspeaker, it’s an understanding of a good average fit for a general room size for the loudspeaker.For sure you are right rick....This come with the "generic" final design of the speakers....
The room, the electronics, the recording, is very much more pronounced and unveiled, by a highly resolving loudspeaker (whatever type it is) and it can be more or less flattering or very much not so.This is my experience....
But my system being good is not at the highest design top quality in the market....Like most of us....
My sound is"living" in this interval between the highest resolution and some coloration coming from all the parts and even from my room...I lives well with this imperfection, and i call that "living" sound....This is the most many of us can wait for with their actual audio system....Totally resolving system in a perfect room is out of the purse of most....It is a theoretical concept rarely manifested with an audio system...In real life we listen to "living" sound, never perfectly resolving one...And in any normal audio system, we listen to some aspect of a recording slightly more than to some other aspects... There is a slight unbalance like in real life... Except for very high end speakers in a designed room, with a low noise floor level and no mechanical vibrations uncontrolled...
In my many experiments in listenings what i listened to was this INTERLINK between the recording, the electronics, the electrical grid, the mechanical grid, and the acoustic of my room...In my experiments in listenings i play with device that will improve this interlink.... We cannot change the quality of the basic electronic we own.... Only make it able to reach his potential....
No embedding will gives to someone the sound quality of a top level component with a low level one....
But The embedding of an audio system rightfully done gives more sometimes than most of the so called upgrade....
