Seems like a no-brainer to keep
the reproduction system as neutral as possible, if high fidelity is
your aim.

High fidelity *means* neutral. You might as well say "natural".

Natural brings in the quality of the source material - neutral is
indeed the right word. Fidelity is about the reproduction of whatever
has been recorded as well as possible - whether that is or isn't
natural is the choice of the artist.
