We may postulate that … compression is beneficial for soundstaging.

... You are right and it is very simple to witness. A high dynamic range creates less soundstaging and more imaging. Higher compression kills imaging and moves soundstaging forward. It is no surprise that to “sell the soundstage” is the most beloved deed for the Morons-reviewers who have been shilling crappy acoustic systems to public.

So, talking about postulating – I say that compression is proportional to soundstage. Here is the fanny part - compression is easy to measure. However, if the soundstage is proportional to compression and the compression is objectively measurable then why do not measure compression and just to calibrate the measuring instruments in “quantities of soundstage”.

I would even propose a fundamental unit of soundstage that I feel should be listed in the famous “Le Systeme international d'unites”. The unit of soundstage measurement should be a Moron and the following: nanomoron, micromoron, millimoron, kilomoron… etc… The device that measure the soundstage should be called Moronometer and any industry participant shell ware a Moronometer permanently attached to owner's pocket protector.
