"...comparing what you hear to an objective standard - the sound of live unamplified music in real space - and describing the deviations is *objective*."

Few people have actually compared their systems to live music in real time. Even so, such comparisons are not directly relevant to how a system will perform at home, which is likely acoustically much different from the original recording or recording venue.

Descriptions of subjective experiences are always selective and that involves subjectivity.

What is reputed to have been one of the best systems for recreating the illusion of a live performance was designed by James D. Johnston, a staunch advocate of subjective testing (that is, DBTs) when he was with AT & T. Link below to an article by Wes Phillips.
