Recording engineers have a curse....

"What do audio systems do?"

Lynn Olsen points out that "At the most basic level, they are Illusion Engines."

He goes on to argue that "accuracy" simply doesn't apply. It's like "rating a dream"

But, just when you think that he's arguing for the second school of thought, he points out that

"...there's one group for whom the word "accuracy" actually conveys meaning: recording and broadcast organizations with ready access to professional musicians. For the last 30 years, BBC monitor speakers have been subjectively assessed by rapidly walking between the control booth and the performing hall. The short trip is a quick reality check..."

I see this as an argument for the first school of thought.
