If you do not know what 'flat' sound is, you should not
be wasting your money on Hi-Fi gear.  Spend your money on
a Sony Hissman portable stereo and you will never know what
music is like.
 
for one definition try:
 
  you are now listening to a flat (like a picture is flat) source of
music.  There is no depth to the stereo immage.  In even worse cases
there is no stereo immage what-so-ever.
 
For another definition try:
 
 there is no life in the music... flat and dull.
 
 
Context changes the usage of 'flat'.
 
Why no tyraids about 'soggy', 'thumpy', 'swangy', 'harsh', 'sweet',
'warm', 'air', 'ambiance', 'coloration(s)'....
