You are correct that the 'vibrancy' is the most important thing. However, you can have accuracy too.
When you get it 'right' the extra distortion information can be ignored, yet you can hear the music more clearly. Now, sometimes at a given price-point you have to make a choice. You can make it fairly accurate, with some added 'edge' , then good stuff sounds pretty OK, but the bad stuff sounds awful.
On the other hand, you can 'mush up' the sound and yet get the essence of the music, even when you are listening to an almost muffled sound.
For example, in my bathroom, I use a Telefunken Bajazzo portable radio. This is about my 5th unit since 1965. Put in on an oldies station, and it ROCKS! Guess who helped developed this unit? Dick Sequerra! I did not know that for the first 30 years, I just knew that this radio was special.
Now, my main system has WATT 1 speakers. They were originally designed for studio monitoring. They are forward and bright. A pristine input will give marvelous performance, but the same rock station, as I use in the bathroom, SUCKS!
Then there are Dick Sequerra's latest Met 7's. I replace the Watts with them and I can live with just about any input, but I can't easily what is wrong with the input. You choose.
