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?

@mahgister : "

i dont mention live music because at my age i had been at some live events multiple times ...

And the sound of a real piano is familiar to me for my children memory because we had one ... I used piano timbre and dynamic as a meter for tuning my room.."

 

Your answer to my question means to me that " that’s it " that I posted and that I was looking for because almost never you speak/post about live MUSIC that’s my reference on tests/comparisons and obviously is the most critical an important part of my taste.

 

In the other way I don’t like to talk with stupid people but with gentlemans as you.

We can differ about perspective and be friendly ...

@mahgister : Thank’s appreciated but is not about perspective but a different issue ( please re-read my latests posts to you ) .

It's a term of art so i treat it that way.

To me it describes how I feel when listening to music whether live or recorded. Does it engage me as oppose to overwhelming me with sound or conversely just bore me. Maybe say PRAT+

I get how this is highly subjective, but that's what it means to me!

"musical" for me is when a system or live performance is engaging, non-fatiguing, and very pleasant to listen to.  You'll know when it draws you in for more.
