| What define "musicality" ? And what constitute "musicality" in audio ? I agree with Geoff. Saying a system has 'musicality' is like saying a steak or cup of coffee has flavor. On the one hand it states the obvious and on the other hand it doesn't convey any useful information. And again, if everyone has their own def... | |

| I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul! It sounds like you have two options: 1) Figure out what element is missing.

| What define "musicality" ? And what constitute "musicality" in audio ? "Your history enlightened my day"Glad my story could do that.My system was originally purchased by a fairly wealthy bachelor cousin. When he moved out of his home and into a penthouse apartment he told family members to come get whatever of his st... | |
| What define "musicality" ? And what constitute "musicality" in audio ? @mahgister: "I am interested by you and your walk and particular road and experience in audio toward simple joy"Okay, I'll bite. Others have heard this before. I have always been a music lover. I have always had some sort of 'system' but mostly lo... | |
