So what i'm hearing for the "pro-biting" camp is you like the zing, even though it doesn't occur in real music listening?
For instance, close mic recording is bringing information about instruments we'd never hear in listening to un-amplified music.
Do your speakers bite??
There's a curious phrase audiophiles use for speakers with well defined leading transients, or extra string or reed sounds: bite
Sometimes this is also extra resonance from inside a string instrument. I say it's extra because I don't hear the same in real life, but for some speakers these are marked selling points.
So, do your speakers bite? Do you like your speakers to bite you? What is your threshold?
