I often hear the term Audiophile Sound in reference to gear. Especially speakers.
How does a speaker sound audiophile and what does that mean?
My guess is that it depends on who is asking the question.
From our viewpoint, the audiophile sound means it's as close to live as technically possible. In other words, it doesn't have a sound. In fact, the less it has a "sound" the closer we believe it to be perfect.
From an outsider's viewpoint, an audiophile quality system is so far removed from their experience of reproduced sound that it warrants a label of its own. "Sounds like an audiophile speaker".
The truth likely lies somewhere in the middle.
It all depends on who is asking the question.
