Warm vs. Bright... what do you mean by this dynamic of "fundamentals" and "harmonics"?

The first three are spatial: -Width of soundstage (how wide does the space feel, how much does sound placement appear to vary within that width?) -Height of soundstage (how high does the space feel, and how much does sound placement appear to vary within that width?) -Depth of soundstage (how deep does the space feel, and how much does sound placement appear to vary within that width?) The next is related to clarity -How good is the “separation,” that is, how well does the setup present individual instruments or singers as having their own individual spaces rather than melding into one? And the last is the feeling of “airiness” – a really great, well-presented soundstage will give you not only a sense of size of the space but also a feel for the air in that space so that you really feel like you’re there. 4. What is the overall “feel” of the sound? This can be evaluated along a spectrum from “warm” or “dark” (generally meaning the bass is a little stronger and more enveloping – this can also mean that some detail/clarity is sacrificed in order to achieve a more “relaxed” sound) to “bright” (generally meaning that trebles tend to be emphasized at the expense of bass – this can also mean that the sound is very detailed and clear rather than relaxed). 5. Where do you feel like you’re sitting while listening to the music? The presentation can either be very “forward” (i.e. the performer appears to be right up in your face) or more “removed.” 6. What sort of “texture” does the music give off? This is somewhat related to the feel of the sound – the texture can be either “analytical” (you can hear a lot of the details of the sound, but this is sacrificing the feel to some extent) or “lush” (you can really feel the texture of the instruments, but this might sacrifice some level of detail). |
