Precisely RLwainwright, but it is a subject that keeps these forums going forever and leads to endless disputes, partly because they are hard to define.
I know what I mean by the distinction, "neutrality" is ultra detailed, dry, does'nt distort any part of the frequency spectrum and for me, is dull as dishwater. Musicality often has some midrange warmth, the music is dynamic and envolving and is ultimately enjoyable, despite it's faults. I am NOT putting this forward as a universal definition, just what I feel about and where my loyalties lie.
The archetypal neutral sound, for me, is what you hear from the likes of Focal and Wilson speakers. I get what they are trying to do, but I could'nt possibly live with them.
