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?

New eq is very refined and accurate, digital sounding. Non stereo imagimg.  If you compare it to the 70s equipment.  Any of the 70s or 80s equipment has alot of soul to the sounds.

New Eq = more resolution and dynamics, can be dry

Vintage Eq = romatic and mellow, even colored.
