I need help describing the sound of a SET to a friend in English.


I am trying to help a gentleman in this forum and I have the feeling that my English is getting on the way.

How would you describe the sound coming out of a SET?

Thank you!

Three words come to mind.

"Presence" and "air" = not only the enhanced sense that the performer(s) are there right in front of you, but also a sense of the space around them.

"Bloom" = getting the timbre and the harmonics especially right, making more a richness to the sound.

This is based on ownership of Dennis Had-era Cary 300B.
