Why does all new pop music sound the same?
I agree with @chayro that the horror of the Video and the book it is based upon is not generations gap or compression. As mentioned in the book, teen wants to listen to something different from what her/his older brother/sister is listening to, so... 
How to drive yourself insane
I feel your pain: had the same dilemma when my two Naim NAP250s got stuck in Naim-USA "recap" limbo and I bought BAT VK75SE as a temp substitute. Overall sound was at freakishly another level, I started listening more to "classical" than my usual ...
