I think of it as what gives the music it's beauty,the shading and nuances you hear surrounding a particular note or sound,just like the large dynamics which give power and emphasis to the music the micro convinces you that the illusion is real.
In my experience the macro and micro are both equal in great systems one cannot over shadow the other. If you have great clarity you should have great dynamics on both ends of the spectrum. Although just like a subwoofer helps with the macro a dedicated hi frequency driver will help with the micro.
A extremely low distortion and low noise system is needed to realize what can be heard regarding nuances and shadings of the music. And of course it is recording dependent also.
