"The composer Philippe Manoury (1991) observed that "One of the most striking paradoxes concerning timbre is that when we knew less about it, it didn't pose much of a problem. "
Boy did he nail it!!! Timbre and tone are most important elements of music. Attack and dynamics should also be included. The good news, for the marketers, is most people lack the ability, exposure, or desire to understand the true fundamentals of music. But there are plenty of audiophiles who pretend they know. Of course the easy way to tell this is when they throw in all the silly explanations of what music sounds like and the graphs, charts, etc... Another dead giveaway is it sounds better across the board. Most things in music have trade offs.
Enjoy the ride
