Does it have to sound good for you to like it?

I listen mainly to classical music.  The SQ of classical recordings is all over the place, not nearly as consistent other types of music.  Recording large orchestras is a complicated and difficult endeavor. Smaller ensembles are easier to record. So, if you listen to a great performance of an orchestral (or any) recording but have trouble with the sound will you avoid listening to it?

And how would you determine that "reality"? I spent quite a time at Electric Lady Studios and would never pretend that I could tell you how those albums should sound. Ditto for sound tracks recorded at Sony Studios (Columbia).

We spend our time and money trying to build great sounding systems. There is nothing worse than playing a poor sounding CD,Record or music stream. It makes you stop and think how can I fix this. Interconnects, new speakers, amps soundproofing. Just don't do it. It creates a money pit we all swirl around in
