what is good sound ?

when evaluating stereo systems, should the performance of the stereo system itself be the reference point, or should the listener be the basis for the evaluation ?

if the instrinsic quality of sound is the basis for judgment, then such concepts as transparency, neutrality or accuracy might be the standard for evaluation.

otherwise, the listener would be the sole judge and whatever criterion, be it based upon sonic considerations or physiological/psychological states, would be the deciding factor.

whatever approach is selected, what is the justification for either one ?

Good sound has go with the fabric on the couch and the window treatment. Good sound does not know skin color, religious beliefs, or sexual preferences. Good sound never wears brown shoes with a black belt. I know, I know, I told you I'd said my piece on this one, but I woke up this mornin' with a turtle head pokin' out my ass and I thought I'd share the joy with y'all. Good sound does not come in screw-top bottles, boxes or cans. I had my sound un-pimped by German engineers and it is gooder than good now. Good sound always knows which tie to wear and when to keep its mouth shut. I loved good sound once, but one day good sound stopped calling and left no forwarding address.

P.S. Fatparrot, didn't someone already say that?

9rw, ROTFLMAO, go get'em! Reminds me of how some folks seem to live in (or come from) a time warp.

Marco, Don't fret, Good sound came to my house - it got frustrated knocking at the door of folks who didn't appreciate. But it still exists. :-)
