speaking with fellow musiclovers, who share a passion for the best

own, often accomplished by single driver speakers.

Then they're certainly not interested in 'the best obtainable'. They just
prefer the colouration and distortions such a system *adds* to any signal.
In any tests comparing live to recorded such a system will come well down
the list. A sort of Picasso versus photograph thing.
