it would facilitate communication if there were "standard" definitions for terms frquently used in discussion so that each of us would not have to qualify or explain the denotation or connotation of terms used in a sentence.
there are many words that are so frequently used, such as warm, rich, lean, thin, bright, wide sound stage, deep sound stage, out of phase, and other familiary used words.
while systems are different, as our ears , brains ad preferences, terms could have a shared meaning so that in the context of a stereo system, the meaning would be clear.
how to do this ??
i suppose someone could propose a list of terms and their definitions and then those definitions could be discussed until there was an acceptances of a definition.
i think there are more experienced audiophiles than muyself who could propose a definition of the terms i alluded to above, but if asked, i would be willing to provide a definition.
i don't consider myself an authority and if someone wants to offer definitions i think such an undertaking would be greatly appreciated.
this is especially the case when some one asks for advice regarding an aspect of sound, such as "bright" and the posters would understand to a large extent, what was meant by the term.
this discussion of warmth illustartes the differences in connotation that each of us use when saying the word "warm".
i think precision and clarity would ad directness and eliminate the necessity for explantions.
