What is "west coast sound"


I recently read a review of a CDP from HiFi Choice which characterized that the player has a "west coast sound".

Anyone knows what it is.

Taking Kurt_tank's analogy a little further... maybe the "West Coast" sound is more finessed, quicker and leaner (brighter, detailed?). As opposed to heavier, powerful, etc. (warmer, laid back?)

Funny, it's also the first time I've heard of this term.
