I'm a slide rule and scope kinda guy, and I've always found it difficult to describe what I hear with non-technical adjectives. I mean, I can put the words together and sometimes I even think I've done a good job. But I can never be sure that my description paints the proper mental image, nor can I know if what someone else is saying is giving me the right impression. So I've begun to strive to just listen, and encourage others to do the same.
I know it isn't always easy to audition some of the things we discuss here, but really, I'm not sure that there is any alternative. That's why I suggest that folks just take the plunge and give things a try. The best way to know how something well something does is to experience it for yourself. I love having the sound take people's breath away, and watching a silence come over a conversation-filled room when the music starts to play.
