Crisp sound

[prerich]

I hear a lot of people on the forums describe their sound as "crisp". When I hear that word - I have a tendency to cringe (that's just me). I would describe the sound in my system as tight, fluid, and smooth (there are some that would not use those words to describe their systems either ). For example, I 've heard Rded's speakers in a demo room before and they are definately on the smooth end of things - I would never call them crisp - but they are detailed and percise! Those that have "crisp" sound, please describe what your meaning of crisp is - does it mean detailed (I would definately describe my speakers as detailed but not crisp)? I'm kinda old school and just getting used to the way the new breed describes their sound. So all of you crispy people out there - chime in and let me know what your definition of crisp sound is. Theres also a difference between clean and crisp - I think some are actually meaning clean when they say crisp - or am I wrong
