Well, that does depend on how close your recording is

to the real live thing.....

Sadly, - almost all recordings, (in my experience), are not so close and do not correlate well to the real live thing. And every recording, (even a small chamber ensemble), makes a choice of recording equipment.

In your position, you can say, - "this recording, played back through this system, was pretty OK and close compared to what I heard."

I respect that, and having heard probably more than a few of the same components that you have, - I am reluctant to disagree. I would just say that you are largely right, and I think that people can get close to a decent definition of accuracy, and come to similar conclusions through experiences, and numerous comparisons.

The choices that the recording engineer makes though, do affect the final outcome.

careful....

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
