LOL. A great answer to you would have been for him to walk over to the back room and bring out a violin. Start playing something. I wonder how many of these high-enders are musicians, or attend live events?Sometimes yes. I recall one dealer in Helsinki, who got upset, when I asked him to describe what ’musicality’ means in terms of audio.
I know that Mark "I never met a preamp that was too expensive" Levinson was a musician. But I don't think he designed anything. Maybe the knobs and panels. He was more a marketeer. Like Harvey Rosenberg who took over Julius Futterman's work. His engineer, George Kaye, was a jazz musician. Whether being a musician is helpful to audio design, I don't know. In terms of 'musicality' you'd think it would be what they are talking about.
