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?

Musicality is when you set all right acoustically ...And "right" is defined by objective factors not only the qualitative design of each component but their synergy and not only their synergy but matter as much the way they are embedded together in a room, well or not . electrically,acoustically and mechanically ... Musicality is a result of balanced factors in these three working dimensions not a "taste" or a mere subjective inclination ...

Acoustician and musician know how to make the sound "musical" ... Some speakers and amplifier designers know too ... Taste exist for sure but is a very limited factor in the mechanical,electrical and acoustical processing of sound and in components design as in the embeddings devices design  ...

I've lost count of the number of times that this question has been asked in one way or another. Snore...

This is the term that should have no place in audiophile community. It may mean too many things and so in a sense it has no meaning.

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.
