What does a 'refined sounding' speaker mean ?


Hiya,

Can someone please explain what a refined sounding speaker means when reviewers rate a piece of equipment/speakers ?.. It seems that this term is used a lot in comparison between cheaper and 
more expensive gear to justify the price different.... So what exactly are they referring too

"Cheap gear, ting. Coarse. Expensive gear, Tiinnnnggggg. Refined."

Best explanation yet :-)
Could mean a lot of things but typically it has to do with timing. A more refined speaker would have natural tone, a little more detail & speed, as well as better attack & decay of individual notes.
