You took it a step further and expressed it much better than I did.But SETS do offer the possibility of both: (yes, your wife could be the sexiest woman in the world.)
Virtuoism does come alive. For example, since I've been into these 45s and 300bs, I just cannot get enough of listening to the trumpet of Donald Byrd. The way he sails on top of the music with his tone and delivery. Or the incredible virtuostic guitar of Ben Tavera KIng on 'Border Crossing' the way he creates vivid experiences of events with his playing, and the emotions that accompany these events.
But you do experience the whole of music with the 'real' hi-fi which is why I am totally absorbed in the musical offerings of Art Blakely and Horace Silver. These guys put together 'bands'. There is a 'wholism' to what the band puts out.
It's just a matter for high-end to focus away from as you say what is "impersonal, without integrity, balance, and soul". This means identification of other sound variables.
This is what it's about. Identifying sound variables that relate to the whole effect. Like denatured food, the best has been thrown away in favor of refinement. The priorities are not balanced.
