Annoying Hi-Fi related Cliches
"Flabby overblown bass"
MA RX1.
"The metal tweeters give a metallic edge..."
"The silk domes lend a silky smoothness to..."
"Valve amps have a warm presentation..."
"The speaker cabinets - made of dark chocolate - made them sound smooth with a slightly dark, bitter edge..."
... and so on.
I dread to think what makes a system sound 'organic'. Bull**** maybe?
Had no idea about the dark chocolate, my system needs a treble lift...should I paint my shelf white? 
So, without these 'Cliches', how do you expect to describe a system, item or affect on a system, interstingly or to make any sence . . . you are putting down the wonderful coulour of the English language.
I, may not be mutch cop at it, but I do love the 'expresion' of those that are.
. . . take it with a pinch of salt and enjoy! . . . CJSF
it was just for fun 
I know where you are comming from moon . . . I did say, 'take it with a pinch of salt . . . '
Sadly, feelings can run high in the world of hifi . . . we do like to stire the pudding

Like a veil being lifted.
You can be arrested for that - I don't recommend it
