Isn't this interesting..And here I thought everyone interpreted these terms the same as I did!!

 Transparency: To me this is a measure of distortion and how separated each instrument or sound is kept. The ability to hear deep into the recording (not in the same way as imaging) |
Since my early days of listening to stereo music..I've interpreted
transparency in the same way that you have..
Soundstage to me means that a sound image of individual instruments can be heard right across the screen and beyond..

"detail". Hearing a bass player touch his fingers to the strings, or a vocalists in-between breaths. Things that lesser systems will lose in the mix. |
Totally agree..

Speed: Even though I think that this is a silly descriptive term, I would equate it with how well a system tracks dynamic changes, and with a lack of resonances/reflections. Maybe the phase relationships between drivers or of the system as a whole would contribute something? |
My understanding of this term also..
