liquid sound


What do people mean when they say "liquid sound"?

To me, a "liquid sound" is a 3 dimensional image of sound that visually and metaphorically behaves like throwing a handfull of pebbles onto a flat pond. Each pebble strike forms a ripple that is distinct, yet radiates and mixes with other pebble strikes and decays with distance. Jeff
I assume that this means liquidity is a desirable thing to have. I guess it would be appreciated only if a non liquid system is heard. Anybody heard a non-liquid system?
Sure. My system has been "non-liquid," and with the right (or wrong, I guess) source material, remains capable of being "non-liquid." By "non-liquid," I mean edgy, grainy, not well-resolved, even perhaps subject to mild distortion. In short, harsh and unpleasant, or "unmusical."
"Liquid sound" is very similar to banking, IMHO. It means loose and easy credit. Just like a loose and easy speaker. One thinks of the old naval term "three-sheets to the wind". So it would be the opposite of a system with control and precision - something warm and full of bloom and harmonic bliss. Nice pleasant cosy sound all the time - whatever you play.
