I would word it differently - I am trying to understand coherence, dynamics, etc... Can you recommend me some systems/components that do this and those that don't?
Whatever he/she thinks it means.When one describes that: the speakers are designed to sound coherent, relaxed, detailed and dynamic, what does he/she mean?
Thanks.
If there aren’t too many takers on this it’s possible that much of this has been discussed so very often and in considerable depth in many threads so unsure if too many are just likely to go around the Ferris wheel of defining subjective elements afresh.I googled for "coherent, relaxed, detailed and dynamic", but cannot find any useful info.
I just like to know that when a pair of speakers are described as above, what do they mean?
For example:
I googled for "warm sound", and found that - Warm sound has a tilt towards the bass frequencies. The bass and vocals are more prominent, and the higher sounds, though present, are quieter and subdued. Warm headphones and speakers tend to sound “comfy,” “musical,” and “pleasant.” Sometimes warm headphones are profoundly thumpy and bass-heavy.
Any useful information is appreciated.

Coherent usually references the speakers ability to disappear. This has to do with two factors. first is how well integrated the drivers/crossover are in your speakers and second how precisely you have the speakers positioned in the room. I offer the extreme example. If you had the perfect speaker with the perfect crossover and yet position the left speaker with very poor time alignment (Forward position, toe-in, rake etc) you would still hear the speakers as separate entities in the room -- poor coherence). Good coherence also help with the system dynamics.
Warm sound would be to my ears heavy on bass, thick in general and with treble rolled off to have the whole thing in front of me rather stuffy than airy. Warm sound characteristic would be then the opposite of analytical approach.

I have heard many speakers that have a flat frequency response, without being heavy on bass or rolled off treble, that still sound warm.
Warm sound characteristic would be then the opposite of a bright sound characteristic. Analytical is a common subjective interpretation of the latter but not necessarily an accurate one. I would prefer to say that an analytical approach (sic) would be better correlated a neutral spectral balance, i.e., the absence of warm or bright coloration.Warm sound would be to my ears heavy on bass, thick in general and with treble rolled off to have the whole thing in front of me rather stuffy than airy.

Coherence to me is the seamless integration of multiple drivers in a speaker to sound as one sound, one driver.
