Words 8, 9 and 10: Downward dynamic range (a term invented by Allen Wright from VacuumState)
The ability to keep soft sounds intact and not smeared over in the presence of louder sounds. Example, decay of a piano note is still clearly audible even as new notes are coming over the top and THEIR decays are also clearly present and kept at the right relative levels as new notes come on top and so on and so on.
