What define "musicality" ? And what constitute "musicality" in audio ?



I think that "musicality" is the most important factor and attribute in living audio experience... The experience of "musicality" i think, cannot be reduced to subjective factors only, nor objective one...It is more easy to describe what it is not, than to describe what it is, perhaps like the experience of God in theology...But for sure if you get it, it seems the most important resultant factor of your audio grid system,you feel it and like it the most...After 7 years i feel it more than ever...The urge to upgrade recess in the background because when you feel "musicality" already at a certain level, you dont believe that it is possible to push that level really higher at an affordable cost... "Musicality" for me, in my words, correlate with realistic musical timbre and voice, fluidity,no harshness at all, no fatigue, and last but not least, listening music and forgetting the sound...

This is my personal my experience, i am curious to read others about that,about their "way" and "means" to live that experience...Thanks to all...

Last weekend I ran a live show for an astonishingly great string quartet that was astonishingly great. They all used mics they'd brought...tiny condensers...miking violins is always tricky, but these little mikes worked swimmingly and man...astonishingly great (did I mention that?), and they felt the sound was natural and excellent, which I need to hear for my fragile ego...you can make the case for live music played by great musicians to display musicality, as why else would they show up? I'll tell you why...MONEY....
Answer to mapman’s question - everything sounds better with tubes. Especially water sounds, applause, train sounds, voices, helicopters, guitars, violins. Perhaps surprising to many Sony Walkman CD players sound like tubes, at least my hopped up ones do. 
I really think that natural sound and piano are real test of how natural and musical sound an audio system... But a big classical orchestra is one of a test... 
I knew a guy who for 50 years  used only applause as his guide and he could  make your system sing . I tried to learn his method but it was beyond me .
For me musicality = a strong emotional response to what I'm listening to.  As example the first track on Satchmo plays King Oliver. St. James Infirmary, played on a the right system, gives me goosebumps.   If I hear it on the radio - it's just good music.  A good system is able to deliver more, of the right sounds, that our brains decode, that results in an emotive response.
