What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'?


Once in awhile, I hear the term 'this amp is more musical' for some amps. To describe sound, I know there is 'imaging' and 'sound stage'. What exactly is meant by 'more musical' when used to describe amp?

my take on the term musical is when the presented music has a high degree of coherence, fluidity and balance top of bottom, with no particular aspect of the sound calling attention to itself, and thus, allowing a listener to just take in the performance -- and not be at all distracted by anything particularly exciting or bothersome sonically

in effect, what many/most of us who have been at this for a lifetime are looking for... an honest even handed window onto the musical performance we select

I asked a young person once, "what is love?"

They got shy and squirmed a little in the chair.

After some coaxing, they said, "Love, is, um, you know...like, um, love..."

Same with musical. Same with pr0n. You’ll know it when you hear it.
