. . . Mirriam Webster lists
as one of their definitions for "musical.". Is Mirriam Webster wrong?
Since you tossed about the word "musicality," this is how Mirriam Webster defines that:
(And, btw, it is too late to edit, but sorry about the typo: that should have been "Nine Inch Nails performing Hurt," not "Ten Inch Nails."

We’ve been getting nice reviews on our products for decades now. ’Musical’ is a word easily applied. So I have concluded that a benign distortion character is paramount to equipment being musical and the evidence seems to support that. What people choose to play on that equipment is a different matter- some of which some people might regard as musical while others might not. So the topic, IMO, is bit too broad in the context of this thread. I’ve only been posting about equipment and how that can be musical, while others have been considering actual music and the way taste might affect your appreciation of it.

Some Mirriam Webster definitions of "music"
If one accepts any of those definitions of "music," it sure seems as if opinion and taste enter in to the equation.

I already said : TASTE THERE IS. but musicality is not about INDIVIDUAL taste but about a collective acoustic experience and knowledge ... You dont get it ? It seems you dont get it... It seems your are unable to understand that your point is empty of content : Using the dictionary definition about harmonious and euphony only goes further in my direction : acoustic ... To be "pleasing to the ears" which is the definition of euphony , is not a definition concerning individual taste but collective humanity ...It is a culturally biased definition for sure, culturally biased ; but nevermind these biases are easy to overcome by any attentive listener, euphony ask for optimal acoustic conditions to be experienced as such...A talented and trained playing musician in a good acoustic room sound euphonic , it is not a taste question ... Do you get it ? But like a rabbit using a dictionary instead of thinking you circle around your own tail ... Acoustic has nothing to do with INDIVIDUAL taste or about the idiosyncrasies of a single perceiving subject , acoustic parameters were created by studies or ALL humankind specific abilities... The fact that some with a boom box on their back revendicate this a "musical" will not transform some music in a "musical" event even if some "taste" it with delight ... It is useless to argue more ... You dont want to understand , your "taste" is all you have , keep it ...
