RE: Musicallity

I've often thought about whether having a 'musical' sounding system can be considered a negative since it seems, by definition, to impart some type of euphonic haze (coloration?) to the overall sound. I've owned my Spendor S100's for close to 25 years(!), a speaker long praised for its inherent musicality. My system's evolved from solid state to tube during this time but has always sounded great (to me). I've always felt this was due in no small part to the Spendors. I've also never truly suffered with 'strident digititis' when listening to CD's and now MP3's. Again, I think I have the Spendors to thank for this. I remember auditioning in my system, on loan, a pair of Thiel CS7's. Very highly praised in the audio press at the time, for me, these were the polar opposites of the Spendors. Man, I couldn't return those puppies quick enough! IMO musicality can never be considered a negative but obviously that's just my opinion. I'd be interested to hear of other components that are considered to have 'musicality'.
