John,
I think you've got a real hang-up about this, you bang on about it at the slightest opportunity. This thread is mostly about how people listen to music, yes some of the explanations involve what some kit does or doesn't do but we are talking about ways of listening.
So, how do you listen? Can you appreciate an entire complex piece at once, do you focus on vocals, certain instruments? I believe that listening via a system in a room is very different to listening to say a basic radio. The basic radio gives you the fundamentals of a piece of music but misses out a lot too. So I think with a radio it is easy to listen to all that's on offer. A hi-fi system offers a lot more information and maybe sometimes it's too much to ask to have us take it all in at once (could be due to mood) so some of us zero on specific aspects - hopefully not always the same aspect.
