"The natural attacks and decays of steel percussion is one thing digital amps just don't do right."

horses for courses, the last time I listened to a 'SET' amplifier, this is one of the areas that it did NOT do right, the rig was overly agressive in the upper midrange/lower treble. However, notice I mentioned the 'rig' instead of just amplifier.

"Nor the ability to appreciate the tonal uniqueness of a Steinway versus a Bechstein."

I am pretty sure, you will need a rather poor pair of speakers not to be able to tell the difference between those two. After acquiring a relatively large collection acoustic recordings, it is safe to say that tonal quality is one of the easier things to identify, so much so that the ability to do it is taken for granted.
