Audiophile music

Hi most audiophiles shop, listen, analyze, discuss how sounds classical and mainstream jazz in vast majority of cases.

How about some punk, noise, progressive rock, industrial, acid, experimental?
Clash, Ramones, Husker Du, Fear, Sisters of Mercy, White Stripes, Suns of Arqa, Knack, Skinny Puppy, Smiths, Morissey, Ministry, Acid Mothers Temple and other kool and noisy rock?
My collection is at or over 50% of titles above and I like noisy and creative bands.

Would you play this type of music let's say on $6-figure setup with tubes, Verdier or similar TT, MBL or similar components, Pipe Dreams or similar level speakers?

When I visited first time AudioConnection store, I brought White Stripes. After trying White Stripes in his big Vandersteen 5(back than) room, I realized that it's not the type of music for the system he demoes. I only liked Vandy 5 with chamber orchestra(amplified with Cary V12), symphony orchestra or big band.

Czarivey: I remember my first listen to Vandersteen 2Cs. They were hooked up to an Audio Research Classic 60.

The front end was a Linn TT.

I brought my own vinyl. I was unimpressed. I chalked this up to the fact that this system couldn't reproduce the sonics I needed for rock based music.
