I think that my very limited experience with the LP12 is for the most part in circumstances that can't be characterized as ultimately favorable. I get the idea that by distributing resonances rather than damping them all or weighting them down you can highlight portions of the frequency band and amplitude scale that have more impact on perception of detail and emotional involvement. I know that these are important and must be there from my own work on the Tympani mods. I remember too that review from Fremer of the Vandersteen Quattro where the great speakers were citicized for being a little too perfect in that they created a plasticky sense to the music. It didn't give a sense of texture as he expects. It only gave what was on the recordings, since in technical terms it was one of the best measuring large systems reviewed.
I also came across Yamamoto (sp?) speakers and the blog dedicated to music as played by spruce and paper, un-tarnished or varnished with modern plastics and coatings. The idea is that some materials emphasize naturally particular frequencies and harmonic patterns that we respond to emotionally. These are materials used in making classic instruments, and they are chosen for exactly those qualities. My point is that a decent recording and playback system should be able to reproduce that - and that defects in the chain should be compensated for when necessary by using euphonic processing rather than having everything processed that way by in-built features.
Its like the KLH speaker with the rotted surround that finally gave out. My cousin picked up this relic from his father's old teaching studio where it was forgotten, and hoped to get a stereo out of it. The music was so captivating through it that he had to show it to everyone with an interest in music. It gave voices and instruments a terrific communication though everything was very obviously distorted and volume was limited. To an extent it made voices and instruments more like you would wish they were. Eventually it was found to make everything sound the same and became boring for him.
