I’m confused. Please explain.

Your view is quite myopic. 
 

The idea here is not that ones audio system sound like a symphony. It is that ones audio system sounds like real unamplified voice and instruments that you would hear if live unamplified performers were performing in front of you. 
 

This is the only objective way to be sure one’s audio system is faithfully reproducing what was recorded. To have no standard by which to ascertain if one’s audio system is faithful leaves you only with measurements. And if you think that’s enough then that leaves you myopic.

You have missed my point completely. I my opinion the only reason to care if my system sounded like live unamplified instruments is if I was into classical music or any other genre played in that way. I want my system to replay  the music I have enjoyed all my life at a high level which is amplified studio recorded then mixed. That is my standard I want my system to be able to do well. 

Nope…. you have missed my point entirely. 
but no worries because I get your point and what you seek is easily found in mid-fi equipment. look for the amps that go to 11 😀. 
 

@sudnh

I didn’t see your system listed. What type of gear do you consider high end ?

OP,

I would consider @sudnf’s point again. He (we) are advocating a method to make sure your system is reproducing the input recording as closely as possible.
