Musical?


I see all sorts of componants, CD players, Pre's, Amps, Speakers .... being referred to as "musical" ... just what the heck does THAT mean? lol
I understand "soundstage", "depth", "up-front", "forward", "reserved", "bright", "colored" .... but someone PLEASE explain "musical" :)

Musical means it sounds really, really good but it could be inaccurate and not quite right as far as audiophiles are concerned. Don't let them spoil your fun - Enjoy!
Musical means it sounds really good and you're really happy with the sound your system is reproducing. If you're an audiophile, that means it's not quite right and you're not listening quite close enough, your're not thinkng or feeling properly or you're just confused. If you feel too satisfied you're not doing it right. Try listening very discernably and you'll find a reason to be unhappy - then you'll know you're an audiophile. I think you can do this since many of us have and it's really quite easy. Hope this helps and happy second quessing.
