Bad recordings and high end audio


Hello. Have decided that the kids are out of the house and I can dedicate some space and money to my long ignored hobby. What is different now is there are so few audio stores. I firmly believe in listening to products so thus I start this great new chapter of my life. The first 2 stores I went to the people were very patient with me and I listened to a ton of combinations. They asked me did I want to hear anything else and I said  yes, ummm,.. how about Led Zeppelin? I received the same response from both stores which was “all Led Zeppelin recordings are horrible” except for this one version of Led Zeppelin 2…blah blah. So I said what happens if I am at home and i have a desire to play Led Zeppelin or another perceived poor recording? They did not have an answer for me nor did they play Led Zeppelin lol . I ended up ordering a pair of Magnepan 3.7i’s from a different store. 13 weeks until I get them, ouch. I am going to guess that people do listen to poor recordings on great systems because you just want to hear a particular album, right? Or am I missing something? Just looking for a bit of insight. Yes, I know they want it to sound the best so I will buy it but is that the only motivation. Or maybe they hate Led Zeppelin, lol.

Thank you everyone for the huge amount of comments. This was my first real reach out and everyone has been so helpful.i learned a ton!  I am once again going to filter through the comments. So appreciate each one of you!
Sooo today I heard Sonus Faber that were similarly priced to the Magnepan 3.7i. Also heard Focal Kanta 2. These were around 10 k , I enjoyed my visit there. They have Macintosh stuff which is the first time I have seen or heard this. They also have audio research which I heard with the Maggies ( among other brands). I thought the Focal sound great. i wonder how they would do in my Med sized room. I found another place about an hour away that carried Goldenear speakers and listened to the triton ref. I really enjoyed this sound. All different sounding and I  like certain aspects of each one. Yes, most of these speakers I heard today are much more dynamics, I knew they would from the comments and some research.They are very helpful at paragon. In a couple weeks I will be taking a Friday-Sat trip to Chicago. I also have the number for the Atlanta store to visit when I gong here in Nov. had a fun day! Do I have it figured out … NOOOO lol.
@tomic601 i do love the sound of the maggies however today was the first time I thought the boxes were disappearing a bit even though every one was a box speaker.
