How can a system be judged with highly processed, non acoustic music?

I basically know what an instrument or human voice sounds like. I understand that almost all recordings, analog or digital, go through some level of processing. I also know that there are many, many recordings which strive to present a natural, real sound. To me, I can best judge a system playing lightly or non processed acoustic music.
This is also my preference for listening in general. And for me, it is vinyl.

@frogman we are on the same page. Hardly throwing in the towell. Impossible with my growing microphone collection. A steady diet of unamplified music in reverberant space, captured simply ( a great three channel mixer, anyone ? Rudy Bozak get busy . My mentor and i are currently discussing why a particularly fine Earthworks microphone, while fine for a stereo pair high up for ambience, is not accurate enough for loudspeaker production quality control…
i am a student…..but i make my own references…..
i don’t go looking for timbre in an ELP piano…..
