Somebody asked for something like this. I hope it helps. Then again somebody will probably use it to call me on some of my BS.

http://www.partsexpress.com/resources/spterms.html#d This one is geared to speakers & building.

This one should cover alot of the technical mumbo-jumbo. http://www.partsexpress.com/resources/a.html

I think there's one over at AudioReview, but I couldn't find it.

I hope this helps those in need. Myself included.

I was looking for some things simmilar, but mostly what I want is something to describe things like "warm" "soundstage" "bright" etc.

I know some of them are self explanitory, but I'd like to be well informed instead of making assumptions...

Anyone?

Sure. J. Gordon Holt's is pretty good. Some would even call it "the standard" - and I'll wager that every decent reviewer knows this glossary, so it's probably a common ground.
