Questions about Resolving Systems


I know this will be subjective but what makes a resolving system?

Does it mean it has great detail?

How do you know if you have a resolving system?

Is that only for system that employ high end components?

I am just trying to get a better understanding.

Thanks

Resolving is a lot like other audio qualities - a matter of taste.  To my ears, too much 'resolution' and the background effects reduce the musicality and become distracting.  The background noise, or peripheral instruments, actually stand out too much relative to the main theme of the music.  You get to say 'wow, listen to that', but then it only indicates that something that should be in the blend is now standing out too  much.

Important to have a balance in resolution, and take it to the edge and not over the edge.  Like too much treble or bass.  I think it is possible to hear into the music too much if you are actually seeking to listen to the music (musicality).

Resolution is a very nice feature of a good system, while too much takes away from that.  Only a personal opinion, of course.....
