So, we have a diversity of opinions here. When debating an issue like this, a common strategy is to either appeal to authority (an expert says so) or appeal to peers (everyone says so). In this case, we don’t have an expert present, nor does everyone necessarily agree — so the debate continues.
In my opinion, I am open to listening as long as the recording is of high quality, capable of capturing spatial cues, and retains the original fidelity, as I mentioned before. Room interaction can be softened by placing the microphone close to the speakers — a technique used by many acoustic professionals, reviewers (including Stereophile, Erin using Klippel), and speaker designers (including Andrew Jones) to simulate measurements in an anechoic chamber.
However, my main point is not about the recording. My main concern is with the OP’s claim regarding a conflict or trade-off between musicality and resolution. These are not mutually exclusive. For example, a common method to enhance the smoothness of sound is to add even-order harmonic overtones to the original signal. If too much is added, even if phase coherent, the overtones may smear details and mask transients. In contrast, subtle but sufficient harmonic overtones can sweeten the sound without these adverse effects. Other methods to enhance sound quality without compromising resolution have already been discussed here, so I won’t repeat them.
