There's arguably a subjective quality to sound enjoyment, though. The fidelity of reproduction can be measured, but I'd argue there's personal preference in the types of artifacts generated by inaccuracies in reproduction.

There's really two camps - "I like what I hears" and "this is as close to in-studio monitors as you can get".

There's an argument for both, but frankly, if studio monitor setups don't sound "as good" why bother?
