I think part of my amusement in the use of these terms stems from things like a recent audiophile catalog I got from Mapleshade. No matter how minor the tweak, everything was described as an unbelievable improvement. These terms are so general that they can't accurately pin down a sound. If people call something "crisp" as a positive, then hey knock yourselves out.

...excuse me I'm going to go lisen to my open and airy speakers now.

Excellent comment!!! I like "open and airy" also
