In Reply to: causes of DARK sounding system? posted by bullethead on January 20, 2015 at 14:17:01:
IME I associate lifeless with an overdamped transient response - systems like this can be quite beautiful and colorful but lack musical progression and drive. Slightly underdamped systems may be more emotionally compelling and a more energetic presentation but lack the color/beauty of a system approaching ideal damping from the other side. Yes perfect transient response is ideal but you have to approach it from one side or the other. The thing here is pretty much we're all on one side or the other on this issue - what's a ripe stinking poop in my eyes is some other guys thing of beauty. Conversely what gets me off might be the next guys raspy noisey headache.
Just my two cents. Not sure if background relates to this.
