Micro Dynamic Capability: This describes the ability of a system to

resolve the lowest level material with as much articulation and imaging

as it does at the louder levels. The most difficult areas for loudspeaker

systems to reproduce well are the extremes, i.e. the micro-dynamics

from ppp to p (pianissimo to piano), and the last part of the macro-

dynamics f to fff (forte to triple forte).

Imaging and Soundstaging: A reference system must be able to

recreate a deep, tall and wide soundstage with accurate imaging

when reproducing recordings that contain such information. The effect

is that of being able to clearly distinguish the specific locations

(left/right, forward/back, height) at which the instruments are playing,

and to be able to hear their performance from the perspective of the

venue in which it was recorded.

These concepts can be understood in a basic sense by examining the

temporal coherence of a loudspeaker system. If each frequency of the

audio spectrum arrives at the listener at the same time, spatial cues

emanating from a performance are reproduced, i.e. sound waves

bounced from the walls, floor and ceiling of the venue, attenuated in

amplitude and displaced in time, can be resolved in space by two

stereo channels. If a reference system can slice time “thinly enough”,

and have excellent low-level resolving power, one can experience

many such bounces off surfaces; all displaced correctly in time,

ultimately defining the soundstage.

Low Harmonic and Intermodulation Distortion: The greatest sound

pressure peaks should create almost no distortion whatever. Many

loudspeakers begin to experience signal compression at loud levels.

When this happens, music becomes distorted as sounds compress.

Reference systems cannot exhibit these symptoms. Just as live music

sounds relaxed at the loudest levels, so must the reference system.
