Somehow, mention of “Musical Potency” has gotten buried
in thread after thread, even those that started with the idea of laying it out for
discussion in Going back to Bruckner (though one might say, Mahler),
one simply needs adequate headroom to “get to it”, if to get much from it. Sure,
there is more than one approach, but some topologies just aren’t going to do
it, whatever else they might do. For those who care about tonality and timbre,
more headroom must include tonality and timbre, and now we begin to separate
the audio wheat from the chaff. As everyone knows, no one gets everything, and
every step on the audio path represents a compromise. What we settle for on
balance is our own personal expression, even if we had someone else do it for
us. The third way is simply a way to take the audio bull by the horns.
