Given the perfect recording and ideal playback environment fine. But the vast majority of recordings and playback environments fall far short of the ideal.
There's no reason at all to assume perfect full range FR, perfect transient response and unlimited power/headroom are going to be ideal for any particular hi-fi application.
I mean it all sounds good but in practice I think time has proven objective performance takes a second seat to subjective listening preferences.
