Crisp sound

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.

Very well said indeed aramis! Remember also, that sometimes it depends on the recording. The source material most definately plays a factor in all of this.
