"Whatever hearing acuity curve you have is identical for listening to live music and for listening to recorded music at home."
That's about the silliest rationalization I've ever stumbled upon. How can a critic (or any other listener) meaningfully compare the performance of amplifier 'X' to amplifier 'Z', if they can't adequately hear the full frequency range output of the 2 amps, as is heard by a normal, healthy human ear?
With lenses, what's the bottom line that you can read on a standard eye chart. Inadequate performance and one's driver's licence is suspended (for your own safety as well as those with who you share the road). Ditto one's audio critic license.
