If the question is directed at me, I want to hear EXACTLY what the recording engineer put down on the track. As much as possible, I want to have speakers that are as dynamic and transparent as possible. If the performer coughs on a track, I wanna hear it. For me, I'm looking for the illusion of feeling like I'm actually there. So if someone coughs while recording a track, I'd like to hear it.

If that means a poorly produced record shows it's flaws, then so be it.

Now, I can totally understand if someone doesn't want that kind of clarity, neutralness, etc. That's why there are many different brands of speakers out there.

As a side note, I've also heard some sound engineers purposely alter a track so it will sound better on a lesser system. Pure hearsay, but I have heard it a couple of times.

Anyway, that's me..
