This is interesting. I also have experienced that playing back music I recorded myself, in a live classical concert I attended, was very accurately portrayed by the XR45 into my Polk RTi28s. But maybe I'd like to hear it sound "better" or "enhanced?"There are so many factors that go into the presentation of recorded music. Everyone has to use the presentation tools (audio playback equipment) they prefer. I think that mastering engineers have to go for a sound that works best on all kinds of equipment. This may or may not be accurate to the original, but it had better be good and enjoyable for the majority of music lovers/buyers. I think people often prefer a presentation that is "enhanced", just like we prefer photographs that have the little extras done right - contrast, color range and saturation, levels of gray, etc. Measurable accuracy, however, should be the goal in the equipment, so that the recorded art comes through as intended.
Recorded music is like a photograph, and is an auditory art to itself, just like photography is a visual art. Nothing is the same as an original. I don't see a problem with the recording being its own art, while being either closer or farther away from the original depending on the effect desired. This is why good mastering is so important and makes the difference.
