I realize this is very subjective, but like most of the other musicians I know, my preference is that which sounds most like a live performance. That sound seldom seems to come with speakers (or electronics) which produce a "warm" sound, including many of the audiophile components and speakers highly touted on this site. The words which come to mind are "muted" or 'muffled" especially on the high end. Guess that puts me in the "neutral" camp. To each his own. Cheers.
Neutral or warm? Which do you prefer?
I have 2 sets of speakers with different characteristics (among others I have).
One is neutral while the other one has more warmth to the sound.
I enjoy both on different music, but started wondering what do other members prefer?
What's "supposed" to be "better"? ... if there is such a thing in hifi.
Opinions of members here are most interesting and educational for me...
