New England sound speakers were designed around two goals: 1) as flat a frequency response as possible and, 2) voiced to replicate a symphony hall such as Avery or Boston. The designers were mostly musicians who lived and breathed in these halls and sought to replicate them. When in them finite detail sought by those more inclined to the West Coast sound is less present. The West Coast sound originated with consumers wanting what engineers used in the studio where detail is more important than flat response they are engineering the sound. It is a matter of personal choice. I have almost always found the West Coast sound fatigued me and some nothing like the live original performance of live orchestral performances and even the few rock concerts I have attended. Admittedly, I grew up attending a lot of classical concerts in Boston and NY so, it is where I picked up my ear.
