When equipment is coloured or voiced to a designers tastes I can see a conflict with exceptionally well recorded material. This is confusing to me as to why a piece of equipment should be altered or tweaked given the customer will have different tastes and recordings. Unless of course it’s targeted towards a specific genré, even then the recording should hold the information to let the system do it’s stuff.

I don’t think your getting it, your response makes no sense in context to winks post.
Look at it this way, a neutral, revealing system that has great resolving resolution cannot be expected to turn a bad recording into something it’s not. I expect to get an unpleasant sound, that’s hi-fi, you take the good with the bad.
