What does "a laid back sound" mean?

I've been reading a lot of reviews, and many say certain speakers have a "laid back sound." What does that mean? Does it mean that when listening the rock, the guitars won't have as much force/impact to the sound?

Just trying to figure out some terminology.

Thanks guys. Right now I have a set of Focal 165VR for my front stage, but was thinking about getting the 165v30. When I read Focal's site, it says the V30 is a more laid back version of the VR. Since I listen to a lot of rock, that might not be the way to go for me.
