How does sound influence your appreciation?

Since I’ve gotten my system to a very good place, I find myself liking the performance of almost everything I hear. Now in classical music, there are sometimes dozens of performances of the same piece, each performance having its own unique take. I now seem to like every interpretation I hear regardless of differences, due to the great sound. I’m losing my discernment because the sound is so much a part of the equation. This is more true of orchestral music than other types
How about you?

Good point @slaw. While much of my record library is made up of music I like irrespective of the playback medium, I have grown to accommodate other music ordinarily outside my existing purview now that everything sounds fine on my systems.

By "sound" are you talking about the sound of the stereo itself rather than the sound of the music?

It has been said that one mark of a great system is how much different each song sounds from another.

Your Tritons use polypropylene midrange drive units. Maybe there are a few exceptions like Skanning doped poly cones (which I have not herd to confirm), but "poly eats detail".

I prefer paper and phase plug for midrange unit (Sam Tellig called it a woofer dick) is best IMHO. Metal can also be good. But there are terrible cone break up problems like ringing that have to be designed out.

I’m not saying that everything sounds alike.  I’m saying that everything sounds  unique and that the quality of sound is consistently high.
