Musical Amps

This question might sound strange but what characteristics does an amp SS/Tube have to have to be considered "musical". I ask this question form reading the many posts through out the 'gon.

From the posts that I've read most members think very highly of Plinius Amps/Intergrated Amps. Now I know this sounds childish but why. Some don't consider Bryston amps to be very musical and yet PMC is parterned with them again why.

My current system is very simple:
Paradigm Studio 60
JoLIda 100 level-2 mod
Nad T762.



Many Thanks

Thank you guys for the insights I guess it comes down to how one enjoys the music. From this info I'd have to venture a guess that Plinius amps are a bit on the warm side which can be a good thing if your speakers tend to be bright such as my Paradigms.

I just want to make sure that what I upgrade is going to get me one step closer to never having to tweak again otherwise I'll never enjoy my system not if I keep changing it. Don't get me wrong change can be a good thing but it stops being fun when it turns into an obession.

It comes down to a vision I have on how I want my system to sound and look. I want a toe taping, fun loving,warm,lush sounding system not one that is cold and sterile.

Many Thanks and Cheers.

Mdomnick,

I too want to try the Sig line in particular the S4. I did manage to audition a pair of monitors from PMC the LB1 Classic but my dealer told me to wait until the Sig series arrives inorder to compare both.

I know that my system will change I just want to be able to keep what I have long enough to enjoy it.

Cheers
