RE: "Wow!!! factor" is

I love these responses, as most seem to imply that it is a certain COMPONENT (speaker, whatever) or METHOD (analog, digital) of the reproduction chain that may be "at fault".

How about what's trying to be reproduced. Think a live concert [Atlanta Symphony] - but more to the point - a composer / arranger "setting you up" - to jump: like Haydn's Surprise symphony; or a Big Band call and response - soloist.. quiet..full backup section.

Your playback system "rounds off / slows down" transients - electrodynamic speakers are probably the biggest offenders. Working back towards the front of the recording chain - like low generation master tapes helps but then the system (recording and playback) ssslllooowww things down mitigating the jump factor.

Maybe a more universal question is "does/how does your system convey EMOTION"? Do you care?
Do you ever cry? When you listen to music or when the Mastercard bill comes...
