Need definitions of: Dark; Warm; and Bright


Throughout thousands of postings, the descriptive adjectives of dark, warm, and bright are employed.  What does each of them actually mean?  Are these meanings solely subjective, or can they be seen in displays of frequency responses and distortion across an audio spectrum?

best not to give energy to the troll... just move on and ignore

all these folks want is to get a rise out of others with their inane negative comments they pollute the board with
Don't forget "creamy/warm/musical" when there is loss of detail from smearing and signal degradation.
Alas, the technology to create these magical plots is beyond most audiophiles.
This audio vocabulary refer to the modern creation of electronic design audio....It never exist among musician before that ....

Music is not ONLY  pure physical sound, music is an interpreted phenomenon and if a an audio system is defined mainly  by warm and bright audiophile concept, we are in very shallow waters....

Musical sound are not warm nor bright ever....Save if the audio system and the acoustical settings are uncontrolled or badly designed or the 2 at the same time...

A musical instrumental timbre is never bright or warm "per se" save if the system is not appropriately tuned...

Then defining our taste by warm and bright qualification on a "magical plot" or by ears, refer to the same ignorance about neuro-acoustic....and refer to our gear defects  not to musical perception...

Musical sounds are not physical sounds.....

Dark means the sun has set. Warm means that Summer is coming. Bright means you stop looking for word descriptions of what you hear.
