Subjective. What do you want it to mean?

What I'm hearing from my Sierra 2s is a sound that's the opposite of "in my face". It's smooth and relaxed as opposed to gritty and brittle.

Some tweeters have made me push back in my seat. Some have made me lean forward. Some have made me instinctively reach for the volume control to turn it down. Some make me want to turn it up. Some fatigue my ears so that I don't want to listen to music any more. Some let me listen for hours and hours.

What I'm thinking what laid back means to me is that it doesn't make me want to do anything but listen, for hours and hours, which is what my S 2s do for me.
