I'm wiping the mud off myself following my good-natured discussion with Rob...did we answer your question?

I take the point that you enjoy the musical aspects of these old recordings. I also agree with you 100% that these multi microphone techniques are bad. I wish they just had 2 microphones and the empahsis was on the purity.
But still, to me modern recordings do sound better than the old recordings from the 50s, even with all the artifical "enhancements". Of course there are quite a few wonderfully recorded modern recordings for which there is no comparasion.
I do have a few old mono recordings. While I got them for the historical aspects, I can never get totally involved listening to them.
But that's just my opinion, as we can see.
