Neutral electronics are a farce...

I meant "Deadliest Catch." "Most dangerous catch" would more likely be about hard hit ground balls. 

A lack of overemphasis in any one frequency domain and an ability to remain truthful to the timbre and tone of instruments!  That is neutrality and can only be had by a systems approach to playback...including power and room acoustic parameters.

I've hosted concerts in my listening room…the room remains "untreated" as furniture does the job, so are the live shows not "neutral?" This is a rhetorical question.

Wolf, maybe you miss my point?  It's all relative as are concert hall sounds.  What you can do is put together a system that does the least harm to the signal and have a listening environment that allows for a balanced output.  I use natural furnishings as well.

Dave_b..Maybe you missed the "rhetorical question" part of my rhetorical question.  I find that I can pick and choose which aspects of the signal I want to harm, and then harm the living crap out of them. Pesky upper mids? I duct tape 1,247 small pieces of 2 day old rye bread to my ceiling and suddenly my system sounds EXACTLY like a concert in the Filmore West in 1972 heard while my girlfriend Shirley was attempting to braid my hair while surrounded by a "tribe" of hippies wearing feathers…just feathers...or to get the sound of Richie Haven's turquoise jewelry banging against the back of my Guild guitar I leant to him at an after concert party in 1970 Honolulu…I sat right in front of him on acid (me, not him…I assume) and to get THAT sound you have to lead a flock of quiet ducks (!) into your listening room and then gently tap your output tubes with a length of sterilized wax coated plumber's snake. Utterly worth it.
