Soundstage vs imaging and other terms used

ShinAce

We often say things like: "this speaker has great dynamics and a smooth response".

When I hear that, I scratch my head. Dynamic is something that changes quickly. Smooth is quite the opposite of dynamic.

Is there a clear definition of:
soundstage
image
dynamic response
tonality
timbre(an easy one, admittedly)
depth
presence?

Some terms are obvious, others are not.
