I agree with Pdn & Bar81,If the speakers can handle the lesser engineered music well and sound pleasing, then the well produced stuff will be a breeze for the said gear, imho.
'A nice piano cut should be included in your audition as well. I find Bill Evans is great for that, without being a true audiophile recording'.

I have Bill Evans at Town Hall, Volume 1 on cd, there is nothing I would say to the effect that this particular Bill Evans cd is a 'non audiophile' cd, especially the drum solo on track #6. Sounds excellent to my ears. Just my 2c.
