Electrical/mechanical representation of instruments and space
Getting back to the actual issue at hand, the microphone is as "miraculous" (or more so) than the driver--it registers all the different characteristics of all the instruments playing at one moment, and sends that down the chain.  Ultimately, the ...

Developing critical listening skills
It's important to have two benchmarks, music that you know well played through a system you know well, and real live music.  When you audition a new piece, in theory you can then judge whether it then sounds better, worse, different or the same as...
