I don't hear "shout" with the piezo or tractrix or CD or any horns.
I hear realistic dynamics and extremely low levels of distortion.
Is it yelling into a cupped hand? Or is it one of these "the Absolute Sound said this stuff was thus and so" and ten years later it has been repeated often enough that it becomes what the 'social scientists' (there's an oxymoron) call the "conventional wisdom". Without any basis in fact. Black cat's are bad luck. You'll poke your eye out. Digital sucks! That's more analog-sounding.
Sorry, Oscar, not picking on you. This is just one of my favorite peeves.
