Sorry for the ambiguous word. What I meant by MUSICAL was: a character of a system that delivers a sound that is capable of involving the listener (most of the time to the extent of an illusion of being in a live performace), regardless of whether the reproduced sound is exactly what is encoded in the source, and regardless of the means by which such a "delicious" sound is achieved (euphonic colorations, shaped tonal balance, etc.)This implies that, to me, a system that makes all my music sound really good, regardless of the quality of the recording itself, is musical. As in your definition #4, enjoyment of the music (and its sound, btw) is what really counts.
And to make it all clear, what I meant by "audio truth" was: hearing what is exactly in the recording, including all its faults that in many cases will distract the listener from the sound's merits... plain accuracy in a studio-monitoring sort of way.
Of course, I'm not saying that these two attributes are mutually exclusive. My question is only out of curiosity how other people PRIORITIZE between these two.
