We do from time to time have discussions here of the kind you miss, and there are a few who post here who are able to offer real insights into those areas when they're brought up. We've both read their posts here over the years. Often the questions that initiate discussions like the one you mention (about using a basset clarinet for the Mozart concerto) come from high school (or more rarely college) students preparing one of the major repertoire pieces for an upcoming audition. There was a question asked recently about articulation in the Weber F minor concerto that generated some musical (not equipment-centric) discussion.
But you're right that there's less of it here than there once was on the Klarinet listserve. I for one would welcome more of that here. But, someone has to start such threads. Most of the questions posted *are* equipment-centered. To get more discussion of "musicology, repertoire, editions, style, aesthetics, historical figures, period instruments, etc." would require more posts asking questions or offering positions in these areas as points of departure.
