what is the meaning of this???

ok. Maybe I'm just dense. Maybe it's just another piece of ambiguous audiphile jargon. Perhaps it's a new term that Audiophile Newbies are using...I just don't know anymore.

What is meant by the term 'fleshed-out'. As in, the sound was very fleshed-out. The speakers/ amp/ DAC or whatever seemed to make the sound more 'fleshed out'.

I have read this several times on Audiogon, but I still, to date, don't have a definite idea of what this means. (I do have an idea of what it means, but I'd like to get some others' definitions first).

thanks,

Steve

These terms can mean anything you want them to mean or they can mean nothing. Fleshed-out is just some ridiculous term some reviewer thought up to confuse when trying to describe what a piece of audio gear sounds like. I personally like the term 'slow woofer' or 'slow subwoofer'. Woofers by nature and design ARE slow. If they were fast they would be tweeters.
