Unless you're a rich recording engineer who record and listen to your own stuff on high end equipment, I doubt anyone can claim their stuff is neutral. I get the feeling, if I were this guy, I'd be disappointed in the result. May be I'm wrong.
A lack of overemphasis in any one frequency domain and an ability to remain truthful to the timbre and tone of instruments! That is neutrality and can only be had by a systems approach to playback...including power and room acoustic parameters.
Wolf, maybe you miss my point? It's all relative as are concert hall sounds. What you can do is put together a system that does the least harm to the signal and have a listening environment that allows for a balanced output. I use natural furnishings as well.
Wolf, you managed to scare the crap out of me...the images you painted sound absolutely frightening! Not sure if it was the acid or the braiding...I'd prefer 10th row at the BSO;)
Jmcgrogan does have a point...as he indicated, natural is vague as well. How about realistic, as having the full envelope of frequencies and tones expressed with complete dynamic freedom and clarity! That should eliminate about 90% of systems:). Of course one can only really assess an entire system. That's why reviews are quite meaningless really, except for the very obvious features and characteristics.
