RE: John Atkinson...

The term absolute sound is meaningless drivel. Which was probably coined by a magazine...

Sounds good is the only thing that actually matters. The alternative to sounding good is sounding like shite. And Shite may be the "absolute sound" but it's not what I want to spend money on.

Bright, hard, fatiguing treble and bass SLAM somewhere along the way became the "absolute sound" and "accurate."

No speaker is accurate - being bright or having bass slam may seem like it is giving more of the recording - if it is brighter it must be presenting more information - which is is - whether it's from the recording is another matter.
