Musical Amps


This question might sound strange but what characteristics does an amp SS/Tube have to have to be considered "musical". I ask this question form reading the many posts through out the 'gon.

From the posts that I've read most members think very highly of Plinius Amps/Intergrated Amps. Now I know this sounds childish but why. Some don't consider Bryston amps to be very musical and yet PMC is parterned with them again why.

My current system is very simple:
Paradigm Studio 60
JoLIda 100 level-2 mod
Nad T762.



Many Thanks

I've owned Paradigm speakers for 10 years and have found Marantz amps (I used MA500s that are now discontinued) HK Intergraded amps, and Anthem Amp2; not to mention a few demos here and there). I love the speakers and finally settled on Anthem and Sonic Frontiers tube gear to get the warmth I wanted. The Marantz stuff was a close second. Unfortunately you'll most likely end up like the rest of us and never stop asking this question and therefore keep trying new stuff. I sold my long loved Studio 100s for some monitors that I have really grown to like, and am happy with my stuff but want to try Paradigms Sig Series stuff some day...cycle continues.
