What does "upper mids being airy" mean?

According to one source: Airy - Spacious. Open. Instruments sound like
they are surrounded by a large reflective space full of air. Good
reproduction of high frequency reflections.


Was the "meaty" bass
pork or cow? How large is an epic soundstage? 10 m?

Quite whether the same adjectives or metaphors are used between trials
