What define "musicality" ? And what constitute "musicality" in audio ?



I think that "musicality" is the most important factor and attribute in living audio experience... The experience of "musicality" i think, cannot be reduced to subjective factors only, nor objective one...It is more easy to describe what it is not, than to describe what it is, perhaps like the experience of God in theology...But for sure if you get it, it seems the most important resultant factor of your audio grid system,you feel it and like it the most...After 7 years i feel it more than ever...The urge to upgrade recess in the background because when you feel "musicality" already at a certain level, you dont believe that it is possible to push that level really higher at an affordable cost... "Musicality" for me, in my words, correlate with realistic musical timbre and voice, fluidity,no harshness at all, no fatigue, and last but not least, listening music and forgetting the sound...

This is my personal my experience, i am curious to read others about that,about their "way" and "means" to live that experience...Thanks to all...

True , but more alike than different . The money I spent was over 50 years .

All jokes aside , every thing counts, Trite but true .The room is the most important thing . My car gets me caught up in music and the 4 speakers likely cost Nissan less than 10 bucks .I’ve walked into many rooms where the owner spend 20k to get
harsh treble and muddy base down to no avail because it was the room
not his gear !

I’ve always been to lazy to fool with rooms but then I’ve moved around all my life and too old to start now .
My standard joke is I’d rather listen to a 1500 $ speaker with a 5k amp than vice -versa .
The only thing I ever really liked to play with are turn tables . Owned over 100 and at least 200 phono cartridges .Still have 3 in my old age . And run 2 .

The older folks get the more convinced they are they’ve just about closed the gap on Audio Nirvana. Trite but true. 🤗
uber,  A rock concert is more a social event than a musical event .
How else could you get 5k people to wave their hands in unison like a
 Nurnburgh rally ?
@schubert : "A rock concert is more a social event than a musical event"

A very narrow opinion and not one that can be supported with anything but a single opinion.

I’m not a classical aficionado. But I’ve been to a lot of live symphonies in good places, I’ve been to opera in Italy, been to chamber music series at Spoleto, I have friends who are phd’s in violin, piano and organ. And I’ve been to a fair share of live rock and blues shows. And I just don’t get your narrow view.

Nothing wrong with having it. But sharing it doesn’t help anything.

I would be surprised if Wagner wasn’t playing AT Nuremberg. In fact, Bruckner was played during some of those rallies.
