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

A. It's a "refined" sounding system, not speaker.

B. The descriptors above seem to be discussing resolution / clarity rather than 'refinement'.

C. Refined is qualitative. "How are ~equally~ resolved systems different in their refinement?"  Using oil as an example: though refined oil is supposedly "purer," how does it taste?
