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?

I guess it means different things to different listeners. To me it means the amp and/or system it is in produces a sound that is closer to the sound and, more importantly, the soul of real music than to the sound of hi-fi. This may also be attributed to whether the said component has a top-down or bottom-up presentation. Just remember that the music is in the midrange.
