What does “musicality” really mean?

“After 50+ years in this hobby, I realised that many reviewers use musicality to describe a warm system. “ I guess I never came to that conclusion at all. Therefore I can’t agree with your assessment to begin with.

“I also found that “sterile” sound usually points to room issues or system matching, not the recording. Engineers don’t master music to sound lifeless.” Not sure I can agree with this either. 
 

Not sure what musicality is to you. But labels and preconceived ideas certainly don’t help. 

Musciality to me is an objective term, meaning what percentage of my music collection can I play and still feel like I'm having an audiophile listening experience. A musicality rating of 100 means go ahead and pull out your Oasis CD's.

It sounds like it means different things to different people.  I remember having a discussion with someone about what I liked about the sound of Spectral audio. He replied that he thought that Spectral Audio had a white sound to it.  I didn't know how to respond to that.
