What does "voiced" mean to you?


Often times on these threads, reference is made to a product being "voiced", I'm curious what exactly that might mean to Audigoners.
unsound

When I purchased my McIntosh MA6200 200 watt per channel solid state receiver I was casually informed that it had been designed to "sound like" their tube amplifiers. Perhaps that put the proverbial bug in my ear but I thought it definitely didn't sound like any other solid state amplifier I've owned, fer sure. Yes, it was a receiver being compared against my separates, perhaps unfairly, but I swapped it out for an MC275 MarkVI which did not sound anything like their solid states. 

Methinks that more or less may qualify as a "voiced" component other than loudspeakers?


Once I watched a tree in the forest fall
yet it didn't make a sound
chagrined as I was by this  anomaly
i went quickly to the ground 
as it is with all that begins
the tree, alas, was not plugged in.
