Top two most important sound qualities


In case you didn't know, it's 2023 and this website still hasn't implemented a polling feature, so I can't define a selection of sound qualities to choose from and see results in a grouped, organized fashion. Boo hoo!

 

If you had to pick two of the typically referenced sound qualities that are most important to you to optimizing the enjoyment of your system, what are they? You know what I mean, right? Could be a certain frequency range and some particular quality that you for in it, or any quality that applies across all frequencies, etc.

(Note: "Sound qualities" mentioned here do not include anything that refers to physical attributes of your system or listening room, such as acoustical treatments, types of components, types of source material, physical tweaks, etc. It's only a reference to subjectively appreciated qualities.)

I think acoustic timbre naturalness is first and second IMMERSIVENESS, i suppose your system is well designed enough to give you minimal clarity and the least distortion... Most well designed system are able to give us that now, with mature dac technology and amplification...

Timbre naturalness is difficult to reach but immersiveness with headphone and speakers was  harder the most  to reach and asked for many, many modifications and experiments and tuning... With headphone it was more difficult for me...It takes a rare hybrid headphone to reach it AKG K340 and exceed my past Speakers Mission Cyrus 181 in his acoustic dedicated room...

In this video this acoustician explain it all :
