I can't explain it although 'worse' may have been a bad choice of words, 'less enthusiastic' may have been better.
Different house, room, components all play into it. And of course the higher up the chain the more revealing every recording gets.
My go to cd for great jazz vocals has always been "Belly of the Sun" by Cassandra Wilson; absolutely 'stunning' on my MG1.6's in a far lager room of a house I rented back in the early 2000s. Ditto for an old R&B CD Teena Marie "irons in the fire" the title track, would make me late for work..Each instances I had a far better amp (Jeff Rowland 5) pushing a much easier load.
But there are some records that sound fine on both systems I guess (although not jazz): Fiona Apple's "Tidal" specifically "slow like honey"
Also the soundtrack from "Dances with wolves" John Barry is superb.
