They don't mean anything, in my view, as applied to an amplifier, they are
of no help at all. That is one reason why I quoted them. The other reason
being that Trevor had used the term "undynamic" which he backed up with
"compressed", which is a meaningful term that can be applied to electronics,
or even applied by electronics, though hopefully not in an amplifier used
below its clipping point.
The terms could be used to describe a piece of music but the amplifier
should leave such matters strictly alone and just make it big enough to
drive the speakers.
