Most Useful Audio Adjective

I'm going with Liquid, which is an adjective I almost never use, yet when someone describes a system as sounding liquid, I know exactly what he/she means...I think.

To me, it describes a system free of edge, glare, hash and any other quality that pulls one's focus away from the music and onto the system.

Liquid approaches system nirvana.

I remember reading an article in Stereophile,way back refering to a kid pounding on a piano on the 3rd floor above the street.Bad as it was,you knew it was not somebody's stereo. No equipment in the world can duplicate live,none! So it's no wonder we have so many adjectives trying to describe the unobtainable. Few have a room large enough to a accommodate the LSO,or such,so we compromise. Therefore I'm going with
"lifelike"____ "Liquid"?? Is that reference to a surf movie or just the Beach Boys?
