What is "west coast sound"

I recently read a review of a CDP from HiFi Choice which characterized that the player has a "west coast sound".

Anyone knows what it is.

Maybe it means the CDP can play short pieces of music like you can't believe. But longer pieces are a bit too much for it. (Seriously, I have never heard it either, and I live on the west coast. Well, at least the west coast of the USA. Maybe they mean the west coast of England or France?!)

As opposed to heavier, powerful, etc. (warmer, laid back?) Funny, it's also the first time I've heard of this term.
