Great referring to musical instruments pitch, Roman... the Real Thing. 

I find the Wikipedia suggestion about "resolution", music-wise to be quite inspiring -i.e. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resolution_(music)

Sentences like this: "A dissonance has its resolution when it moves to a consonance. When a resolution is delayed or is accomplished in surprising ways--when the composer play with our sense of expectation--a feeling of drama or suspense is created." or "... lacks a tonal center to which to resolve. The concept of "resolution", and the degree to which resolution is "expected", is contextual as to culture and historical period."

Audio-wise, the above seems to hint about the enhanced level of attention through the sense of surprise after timing/chordal/melodic changes in music.

To a broader extent LF MF or HF better resolution - not exageration, boosting, tilting up or the like - or transparency augment the sense of understanding, of proximity to the music and its meaning.

Interesting would be better learning about the difference, audio-wise, among "transparency", "definition" "clarity" and "resolution"...  all from a sane, contructive point-of-view, leave alone the industry hypes.

Being "resolution" a multi-faceted, multi-meaning term, I found this sort-of "dark side of resolution" intriguing and worth reporting, to be added to the SUPERB conversation of the above posts, for which I'm grateful.
