Not just a "live performance sound" but I want to also hear whatever it sounded like when it was being recorded - a real voice or singer not just a mic'd voice over the PA, and a real acoustic guitar, cello, piano, sax, drums, string bass, etc... Whether those real instruments are in a studio, or jazz club, or auditorium. I want the performance re-created for me in all it's glory. As for what I call natural, that includes the real instrument's timbre and tone and presence, just as if it was in the room with me.

Similarly, when you listen to strings, maybe you're looking for an amped instrument sound, whereas I look for an acoustic instrument sound. A bit like Shure vs Etymotic, in my limited IEM experience. |
