Clarity
Clarity of sound is a complex phenomena. This article does not attempt to present a scientific argument but rather builds a case based on experience in listening to live music, recorded music, together with a good foundation in the field of psychoacoustics.
Definition of the word clarity for the purposes of the this article: the degree to which a listener can pick out and follow individual parts (voices, instruments, notes) in a musical presentation.
There are four principle dimensions in a musical sound field: the spectral, spatial, temporal, and dynamic dimensions. All four are part of the all-important thing we call "clarity".
