I dunno if it would. To me Hi-Fi is about hearing the music. I like a Hi-Fi with tight deep bass, well balanced flat response, detailed etc.. but only because this means I can hear the performance better and hear the music.

I think Tone is kind of describing the music, not the Hi-Fi. This leads me to think what he likes in Hi-Fi is one that does not lack in any area and lets you hear whats on the recording. At least 'tight bass' means something. Cohesive sound is just so meaningless except that the system isn't lacking in any large way to distract you from the performance.
