Your last sentence proves the difficulty and the misunderstanding here. I would say exactly the opposite, music listening does "revolve around just one component":- Listening to the music! I want to hear, as accurately as possible, the music created by the musician/producer team. I don't want to hear distortion, musicality, warmth or anything else created by my playback equipment. I want to listen to the music, not my equipment.
Removing detail, adding warmth or deliberately changing anything on the recording to me is like going to view a Picasso or a Turner at an art gallery wearing pink tinted sunglasses.

Any component will add something.
