Does "Fast" = "Detailed"?

"Does "fast" equate to "detailed"?

I had always thought of it in broader terms of sonic resolution plus timing, i.e. accuracy of signal transduction in real time. Quick or fast speakers would be expected to have excellent detail, but REAL detail, not the grainy, harsh etched high end that results from deploying a sizzing tweeter. A quick system would also have low, tight bass, and excellent soundstaging/imaging characteristics, as well as accurate tonality and timbre. In short, a fast system would be highly resolving, so much so that it transcended harshness and approached the reality of the original event, within nothing more and nothing less than near perfection, with no need to "overcompensate" for its annoying weaknesses with sonic gimmicks.

Anyone have a warm sounding system that they consider fast? How about warm and detailed? My hunch is that one can have warm and detailed, but not warm and fast, due to top end roll-off and slight midrange bloat that, for me, translates to a warm sounding system.

...uh hum. Since my system is entitled "Speedd Freak" let me weigh in on this. IMO detail comes from getting the leading edge right.transient reponse. if the system is slow it tends to blurr the leading edge and exhibit ringing in the back edge. This blurrs deatil. I dont think they are equal but they do go hand in hand.

Gregadd, my observations tend to corroborate your comments.

I Like MdHoover's description. He took the words right out of my head. As close to reality to me is plenty fast and detailed. Close to real would also encompass warm and detailed as well. Those Mac amps can be pretty warm and detailed, Grant.
