I love how people talk about individual components having a defined sound. Systems have defined sonic attributes in various rooms, but all else is extremely variable. So much goes into the final sound of a system that discussing individual components having particular characteristics is misleading. I favor resolution because I want to hear everything in the music, right down to the traffic passing outside a club during a live recording. Atmosphere needs resolution. How you balance that resolution is key. I love B&W’s diamonds...I have the 802D3’s. Power Cords, interconnects, speaker cables , room acoustics and amplifier characteristics all must work together in harmony.
