Describe the "new HiFi sound"?

Recently had a discussion with an audio friend over the word "musical" and what this word means to each of us with regard to sound from different amplifiers and speakers. Some debate too.  And, reading this other comment on Agon once in a while...how some equipment has the "new HiFi sound".  

ASK: 

Can someone describe this, in your words, what is the new HiFi Sound to you?  Examples? Or, opposites of the new HiFi sound, what does this sound like?

Save for the fact there is little pure analogue being sold today (i.e. very few LPs are recorded AAA any more) there is no generic 'new hi-fi sound.

There has always been a wide range of 'sounds' and will continue to be.

And if it is suggested a 'new' sound is better than what came before, modern equipment does not always sound better than old.
