A commendable effort to help us to a common language and terminology to describe what we hear.
But I doubt whether the average audiophile will put it next to his listening chair. Probably only be used by the professionals.

The sound wheel fixes my problem of being confused by audiophile language. The neat thing is it's also a potential problem solver. Does your speaker sound tinny, canny, boxy? Then you can see if it is treble, mid, or bass that's the culprit. In turn, that's categorized as a timbre issue, which I think would be mostly frequency response.
For DIY audio I might add some terminology to help DIYers head in the right direction, e.g. add Frequency Response to Timbre and Directivity to Spatial.
Dynamics and Transparency might have something to do with room/speaker interaction. I don't know enough to know. Bass precision under Dynamics is certainly a room mode issue.
