>>And what exactly is a "British" sound?

Do a search on "BBC dip" and that will give you part of it -- a few dB drop in the 3-5 KHz range that makes speakers sound "smoother" although less detailed. The other part of the "British sound" seems to require sort of "your characteristic soft-dome tweeter sound" if such a thing exists. I'm not sure there is a "soft dome tweeter sound" but certainly all of the "classic" British speakers seemed to either have silk or thin mylar tweeter domes.
