The descriptive term 'Dark' has the most confusions and different meanings.

Dark is when there is a an overly soft treble that causes no life to the very upper treble.

That's how I understand it. But some reviewers (not from established magazines, but online) seem to think 'Dark' means the sound comes from an overly black background.
