This is very interesting subject and my position about it very much not orthodox. Yes from certain perspective high end are there might be observed in context of evolved music listening experiences. In my view it is very surface point of view. I have plenty of people with whom we interact about very deep music listening experiences but over the years I never even ask them what playback they have, I do not even know if they practice audio in any sense. What is particular interesting that when I stress some specific points which might be observed only from a perspective of high-end audio they are completely with me or at least understand what I'm talking about. 

I am not elso in a complete agreement with that position above that it has something to do with love of technology. It of course might be, but not necessaraly necessary. 

I certainly not to pretend that my position would be some kind of universal and this is strongly my take on subject. I would point out to you my signature from the Friedrich. Before typewriter invention he was writing his work by the hands but when typewriter come to the existence he begin to type. In few years he observed by act of typing in the structured format, which typewriter demands, change the way how he began to think. There is his quote come from. I think it is very similar, at least to me, in regards of audio and music. I have an interest in certain musical expressionism and for me audio  is an invention of that proverbial typewriter, in order my thoughts be developed in a format that I approve. It is sort of a reverse engineering of my own consciousness and rendered by the means of application of audio algorithms.

I am at the point where I have gotten so much Music from The Loudspeakers that I am wondering how much one can possibly get from “just stereo”, generically speaking. Naturally, I keep DPoLS in mind as I move my speakers (and myself) around, and lately I can hear significant differences with very small movements, both the speakers and myself as the listener. Yesterday I got a big increase in the sound field, along with a little less “sense of clarity” of the Musical notes. I have observed (and mentioned) in the past that I have experienced different iterations of the sense of clarity, including times when “clearer” did not mean more intelligible. Most recently I was focused on Wand/BPO, Bruckner 4 more than the system, so hard to say much about “the nature of the clarity” then, other than what I have previously observed. Can’t say why I have put off making it easier to slide The Loudspeakers around , although recent procrastination on that front was to first decide if and how much I want to tilt the speakers. I think I will just go ahead with basic sliders and do that so it’s as easy as possible to raise and lower the front of the speaker cabinets. Of course, “easy” is a relative term here, since each speaker weighs about 235 lbs. Back to just stereo (with DPoLS), I am very curious to find what happens if/when I “get the most from stereo”, how much will be Music, how much will be sound effects, and how much these overlap and interact.
