I like this comment.  I have no problem at all if people like the sound
of a certain type of distortion and want it in their system, that's
entirely up to them.  

An analogy occurs to me.  Sometimes a photo looks better, more
interesting or artistic, if it's been processed in certain ways (for
example one can punch up the colors so that they're more vivid than in
real life, or blur the image to hide unpleasant details).  

Still, you presumably want to apply such distortions on a
photo-by-photo basis.  You wouldn't want your television or projector
to blur -all- photos, especially when the photos have already been
processed professionally.  In that case you may want your TV to display
something as close as is possible to the version the professional saw on
her screen.

That's my attitude towards sound reproduction, and why I'd prefer
components that don't distort the sound audibly.  But it's entirely a
matter of personal preference.
