You didn't really answer my questions though.
"The recording" is not acoustic in nature. It is a code for an electrical signal. It has no sound. So fidelity to the recording is something that can only happen in between the transducers. It is not something one can judge by ear. I see no intrinsic value in it.
"The music" being the original performance does not have "a sound." It has many different sounds depending on where you sit. So how is that a reference for anything? There is no such thing as "THE" sound of live music. Live music has such a vast array of sounds and sound quality that it is far to broad and vague to be of any use as a reference. The fact is live sound can really suck. Believing that live = reference could send folks down the wrong path quite easily.
I don't think we need live music to tell us what we like or don't like. I think we can all make that judgement based on our personal aesthetic values.
