There seems to be two definitions of “neutrality” here. Some are saying it’s timber and coloration and others say it’s frequency spectrum, i.e. flat or tilted up lower treble, etc...
I always though it was freq related and timber/coloration would fall under “natural” or lack there of.
Cant the “natural” sounding tone, timbre or possible coloration of an reproduced instrument be separate from the even/flat or tilted freq spectrum?
‘I’ve heard speakers that seem to have a good balanced freq response (neutral), but had a coloration, meaning the instruments did not sound as ‘natural’ to me.
Am I mistaken?
