musicality and dynamics without enhancements

i was just in the shed listening to a early 90's denon mini system, and although it probably does have exagerated bass and treble, this is an extremely musical 30 wpc amplifier, the wow effect is constant, has anyone ever heard similar sound in a seperate component or receiver, in the price range of the average serf, perhaps with enough power for complex modern speakers?

the term "musical" cannot refer to an audio component. an audio component is not an instrument. it is a reproducer, inaccurate though it may be".

the qualities of music--pitch, timbre, and harmonics are contained in a recording.

if a component exaggerates bass and treble it produces an unbalanced frequency response, not a sound basis for recreating accuracy of timbre.

i'm not sure the term to describe how this amp replays it,
but i can hear every detail with outstanding clarity and depth, hard to describe, it is very punchy and warm at the same time. it sounds better than my mid-fi separates by a good margin.
