So what? I've never seen any evidence that great-sounding speakers

listen to speakers playing the kind of music you know well.
That's incorrect for a start. I repeat. If you don't have a good idea
what real music sounds like, then you have no basis for judging whether
a piece of reproducing equipment is accurate or not.
Maximum accuracy is not always maximum pleasure.
But it is the goal of high-fidelity. But anyway, whether it is or isn't
"maximum pleasure" is beside the point. Using studio-recorded pop music
as a "reference", the reviewer wouldn't be able to judge accuracy if he
heard it!
I've heard a live snare drum in my listening room, I didn't like it and I
don't need nor want a speaker that can recreate that sound.
Now we're back to taste again and grasping at straws, as well, I see.
