Describe the "new HiFi sound"?

Recently had a discussion with an audio friend over the word "musical" and what this word means to each of us with regard to sound from different amplifiers and speakers. Some debate too.  And, reading this other comment on Agon once in a while...how some equipment has the "new HiFi sound".  

ASK: 

Can someone describe this, in your words, what is the new HiFi Sound to you?  Examples? Or, opposites of the new HiFi sound, what does this sound like?

@kota1 @jjss49 Nice room, ...It looks like a recording studio with all the gear, multiple sets of speakers, etc.

 

Nice pics! All kinds of super nice 2ch stereo gear, amps, and stereo speakers. Would love to have a nice dedicated stereo listening room to test a bunch of different stereo gear like that. The Acoustic Recipe is to sit and listen. Minimal room treatment, very nice @jjss49 that’s what I wanna do when I grow up. Super Duper Stereo room that is, very cool.  Just gotta love it!  👍

Then you better get a good job because that room took a lot of time and $$$.

Nice job, I can appreciate the talent it takes to build stuff. I admire all of the great legacy gear I see from members too, no disrespect intended. This is a thread about "new hifi" and in that regard I am embracing it. I still have two channel at a click of my remote, I didn't abandon it.
