this thread seems particularly hard to read for me... i lose patience and interest reading it...
i will just react to the title and say that in a really good system, you don’t hear the speakers, you hear the image of the music, the performance, the wall of sound, the soundstage and the performers within it
the speakers reconstruct/re-create/reflect back a credible facsimile of the artists’ performance that is captured via the microphones and the mix/mastering
apologies in advance if this point has already been made
enjoy everyone, have a good evening
