Your conclusion does not follow from your criticism. Specifically, and correct me if I am wrong, you appear to argue that (1) the type of music you listen to live generally is unamplified; (2) the music sounds fine to you, ergo (3) HP was wrong.
Just because you have a difficult time finding unamplified music or that amplified music sounds fine to you does not mean that using live, unamplified music as a critical reference is somehow wrong. When you listen to amplified music, what are you hearing? The actual music? The JBLs you reference above? The sound board? The dozens of feet of mic cable? Probably all of the above, all of which impact the sound.
The point of using unamplified music as a reference is not because you "like" it, but to remove variables that impact the sound, and use that to judge the accuracy of your system. As a comparison note, I find most jazz today to be bombastic noise and unpleasant to listen to, but listening to a local band playing unamplified music certainly is a valid basis to improve one's critical listening skills, to which I do avail myself.
