Sound is DARK / FORWARD / TRANSPARENT?

So don't use the terminology. I don't. You seem to be able to communicate.

Sound and the way people hear it is a very individual thing just like the way people experience wine. Putting these sensuous stimuli into absolute terminology will always fall short. Wine descriptions crack me up.

For example when trying to describe sound the word "dark" can mean one thing to me in one context and in another context mean something totally different.

The lack of body language I think is the major factor in the failure to precisely communicate these things on a forum. There are always lots of absolutes among a group in person.
