Crisp sound

[aramis109]

The problem is in defining something that is by nature difficult to assign a static interpretation to. Honestly, as a whole, all the "tight, detailed, crisp, fluid, etc" terms as a whole crack me up. I've tried to describe my speakers to people and frequently find myself using "open" and "airy" but realistically does that describe them?

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.
