Excellent discussion and points made, Watts and Satie! I concur regarding Kind Of Blue; it is sophisticated enough to be interesting to hard-core Jazz fans, but also assessable enough for non-fans to engage them. What a rarity that it also possesses great recorded sound---a lot of my favorite music was unfortunately recorded indifferently or worse.
A good point made is in regard to how a high performance system allows one to better appreciate the music itself. When I got my first really good set-up in '72 (bi-amped Tympani-I's with ARC electronics and a Thorens/SME/Decca record player), a friend came over, and I played him some music. He was a music major in college, and had a Masters Degree in the field. He was very partial to J.S. Bach (who isn't?!), so I played him his Concerto for 4 Harpsichords and Orchestra, a piece with a lot of notes flying by at breakneck speed! The music is very dense, and it is hard to keep the parts played by each harpsichord separate from one another. My friend knew the music intimately in written form (the score), so his mind filled in what his really bad stereo didn't make audible. When he heard the piece on my system, with all the notes fully audible, he finally understood why I, unlike he, needed such a system to hear the music as well as he did in his mind.
