I love music, that's where the emotion is, not in the boxes that sit at the other end of the room. I don't want to measure the music, but I do want to know that my stereo is an accurate reproducer of that music and does not add to or subtract from it in any way. Deviation from accurate reproduction can be measured. Listening tests are really just confirmation of a design or a substitute for more careful measurements. If a resistor sounds better in a audioo chain for some reason, then there will be a measurable reason why. Audio is a highly complex set of interactions, but design the test rig correctly and you will be able to measure it. We wouldn't get much science done if we followed the same lines of thought as sometimes gets voiced by professional reviewers. I remember when reviews were accompanied by actual measurements and they backed up what was heard. We wouldn't apply this to any other field of engineering to do with our senses, why audio? I don't read about cameras having immeasurable or mystical properties and they convey just as much information and emotion.
