| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? @atmasphere and @newfzx7 . . . and apparently by some SET standards, 14 or 15 wpc is a lot, as I keep reading about some of Dennis Had’s new stuff making less than 5 wpc? I DEFINITELY don’t think that would satisfy the average metal head. | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? Metal heads appreciate good sound like everyone else. @atmasphere , I am not saying that you did not have this experience; what I am saying is that 14 or 15 wpc of SET would not have done it for the metal heads I used to know. | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? Oops, I think that you may be the one that's wrong! I'm sitting here listening to Sacrifice (thrash from 1987) on tubes and high efficiency speakers, lol. Sounds glorious! @newfzx7 , I did stipulate that this is what "I think", meaning that I... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? "Musical" in acoustics is not defined by deaf 50 years old rockers who dream to put walls of Jericho fall down again ...And doing this will put atmasphere tube amplifiers in the trash bin and will bought 5,000 watts amplifier to do so BECAUSE THI... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? @atmasphere , so you are saying that the thrash-metal guys would dig 14 wpc of SET with some high efficiency speakers? I think you are wrong. That crowd wants to rattle windows, shake the walls and piss off the neighbors. And that is how they defi... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? A good system an OPTIMAL system cannot be only good for one style of music... This is completely beside acoustic understanding of what is a "musical sound" ... Buy some beats headphone or a boom box it will do ...No need of acoustics for you ..... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? To realize and understand why your smug laughter is ridiculous in the face of the complexity of the problem and your real or simulated incapacity to understand the concept of musicality here is the definition from Wikipedia Smug laughter? ... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? "musical" cannot be put in words except by using synonyms as in the Merriam Webster... Almost any word can be used as a synonym for another word. Including the words you have been using. Sorry, but that is just what language has evolved to. ... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? @immatthewj That which is better able to sound like real music. Well, that may be getting some where. However, in that case, "more musical" may differ depending upon one's musical tastes. If one was a thrash-metal fan, one might find different... | |
| High End System Building. How important is the matching, cabling and room? Thoughts ? @calvinj , you made an analogy to cars (engines and aerodynamics) and here is another one this thread makes me think of. I had a buddy who spent as much time with guns as audiophiles here do with achieving sonic results. He used to tell me that hi... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? There is only one way to improve musicality... It is to EXPERIMENT with the relation between the gear and the room acoustic... do you get it ? I have no doubt about all of that, but the problem is, that does not answer OP’s question: "what is... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? None of that (above in your last post) answers OP's question: "what is meant by ’more musical’" However, when you typed that "More musical" means an upgrade of gear or /and upgrade of room acoustics... That was at least an answer to OP’s ques... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? "More musical" means an upgrade of gear or /and upgrade of room acoustics... Seriously??? That is what you think the definition of "more musical" is?? A simple "upgrade of gear"??? And if the gear upgrade doesn't work and the result actua... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? @mahgister you continually use words like "impression" and "perception" and "well." "Impressions" describe subjective experiences, "perceptions" describe subjective experiences, and what some consider "well" others do not, so "well" is also subj... | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? No accounting for taste. As far as what makes equipment sound musical, that is very predictable, For those who do not understand engineering, their opinion will matter (to them), but that won't change how equipment behaves... Sure, @atmaspher... |
