I believe that the other way around -- i.e. a system only referenced to simple electrical music -- would only offer good classical reproduction by chance -- not by design.

“By design“…and this is exactly the reasons why insufficient-content-loaded-music should not be use for assessment of playback’s capacity. “By design“ is the key because light content and heavy content do require in some situations different design principles.

Audio people do not equipped to think in this way because generally audio public does not use musical content as a direct evaluation criteria of playback’s musicality. However, this door is wide open, always was. Change harmonic content of a playback and see how the playback behaves in pop vs. classical competition. For the beginners it is very simple to go by using different taps on the SET’s secondary. Equalize the volume and listen. It would be very easy to detect that that different harmonic favoritism of playback benefits different musical content. Eventually you may apply the same finding to many other aspects of playback and to learn for instance that that more pop (lighter) content of played mucks is the sharper crossovers is require. There are many other aspects and they all from my point of view clearly indicate that for the content loaded and content unloaded loaded musical material the playbacks do require different design decisions.
