Imagine hiring a piano quartet or similar to come to your home and

In this context yes. fact is if they overload the room they will not
sound real in the way we want things to sound real.
Umm...I'm going to let everyone chew on that phrase for a second: "they
will not sound real in the way we want things to sound real."
I believe you have summarized the basic problem facing audiophiles
[sic] rather succinctly (whether intentional or not!). Listeners don't
want "reality"; they want what they want...and then they want to
believe that *that's* "reality".
