What exactly is textural density??

I’m sorry, I am new to the high end audio world. I read this sentence and could not understand any of it. Can you help?

This enhanced textural density seemed good because when I’ve experienced it before, it indicated that the transducer was tracking the signal like a race car with fresh, sticky tires.

Has anyone actually ordered a sales pitch? Ever?

Music might have textural density but not speakers. Sounds like detail. A good system overall probably delivers it better.
The speakers ALWAYS get all the credit. 😤

Bingo! that was my point about "timbre" which is an acoustical phenomenon not and electronic one mainly.... But electronic design can help for sure....

Listen to a cello or a bowed bass live. THAT is  textural density.

Now, when we figured out what textural density is, we have to connect it to tires. Any takers?
