Ironically, the analytical side is what I enjoy about the hobby. After that, it is the music itself that has to be great in order to suck me in. Critical listening is just that, it is more about you mindset than your equipment. For me, a good recording of Vladimir Horowitz will almost always suck me in.
Speakers that turn your analytical mind off?
I am fortunate enough to own a wonderful pair of speakers and yet I catch myself noting how good a flute sounds or some other dissected component of the music rather than the music as a whole. When I'm in the shower and listening to sonos through our bathroom in ceiling speakers, I don't dissect the music and find it much easier to connect with the music.
For those left brained folks, have you found speakers that turn your analytical mind off and allow you to connect with the music ass a whole?
