Is a highly discerning system enjoyable?

I argue that in terms of musical enjoyment, connection, feeling the musicians and composers maybe a highly discerning system is going too far? Maybe I want the warts airbrushed out.  Maybe I like a system that lets me listen to a broader range of recordings  without whincing?

Then there’s systems which are discerning of performances vs. discerning of upstream gear. I personally feel they are not the same thing at all.

Lastly, if your room is an acoustic mess, how can you tell?

If you feel strongly either way I'd appreciate examples of the gear that made you go one way or another.

When it comes to resolution the lousier the better. I don't need to be forced into a this or that personal discussion about what I hear every time I play a song. You need to learn to dumb it down when you involve yourself in trivial pastimes especially when you are trying to convince yourself  that you do this for enjoyment, unless you don't.
