different people hear differently, like different tonality, grew up with different types of sound, there is no right or wrong... if you like it that is what matters -- no matter what others say
that is why there is such a broad, rich selection of speakers and other equipment, each serves a different customer with different sensibilities and tastes
i associate the following with ’analytical’ sounding components -- lots and lots of detail served up right up front with minimal effort needed to hear ’into’ the music, fast transient response, zero rounding/slurring, tight deep bass with little overhang minimal overtones - i appreciate equipment that does this, sounds this way, but this is not my preferred sonic palette for extended listening sessions, where i would rather have more roundness fullness texture to the sound - perhaps somewhat less ’hear thru’ but with more saturated colors sacrficing some leading edge detail
just like being outside in the bright sunlight on a summer day without sunglasses... it is vivid and hyper-real but after a bit it can get a little fatiguing for the eyes...
what we like is what we like, a big part of the journey is to find out what that is, no shame nor apologies needed
last point - i don’t know ’accurate’ is -- i would submit that NO ONE knows... not even the recording techs that make the recorded music... once you put it through microphones, mixers, etc etc (not to mention digitization, mastering, and the reproduction gear on the other end), the real thing is long long gone...
