Once we agree speakers and components can interact with varying results then I can say something is more musical 'in my system' without hurting anybody's feelings.
When I bought the Hegel H360 I had a pair of Revel salon 1 speakers and of everything I could fford the hegel was the most musical 1, Allowed the speakers to play dynamically without adding emphasis to any fq or dulling others. Some competition made the salon sound chesty, some made the top end sizzle another didn't allow the bass to fill the room, so with those speakers in that budget the h360 was the most musical. When I upgraded to the Salon 2 I lost that musicality to a clinical, anemic, bass light sound that, while doing some things well didn't create a believable sound.
Musicality is about room, speaker and component matching. Some experts say dsp can compensate, but I've never found a dsp able to change a speakers fundamental sound enough to fix the room and component misalignment instead you get a flat measured response lac king in dynamics. I'll qualify this with. Component matching for great results can bankrupt the average Joe.and with that consideration developing a relationship with a dealer can save money in the long haul.
