I think that the way something sounds to the listener is simply called preference. No reason to have a specific name for every intuitive term.One question regarding the definition of SQ.
If "Sound Quality" is defined as "Accurate acoustic reproduction" then when do we have the term "Sound Accuracy"?
At one point and time on this forum, there was a term that meant "How good the output of a given speaker or subwoofer sounds to the listener", and I can't for the life of me think what it was, because I thought that was "Sound Quality". Perhaps it's just "color" with some fitting adjectives. I don't know.
