Nice post! I wouldn't dream of deleting it. I agree with you, by the way, 100%. In addition to amplitude response, I think the impulse response is important, and I think a large dynamic range is important too. Another item that is rarely considered is uniform directivity, which is important in the prosound world for arrayability but in home hifi situations it is regularly disregarded. I would argue that in home it is even more important, because uniform directivity translates into a uniform reverberent field, which is one of the most important things for tonal balance.
