We readily accept this for live music, without much thought; yet for our home stereo we seem ashamed of resonance, colorations, and admitting a taste for a particular flavor of sounds, kowtowing to THD, waterfall plots and so-called neutrality.

It is correct but I developed over the years quite elegant explanation of it. I do not insist that it is right explanation but it is the explanation that make me personally comfortable. The resonances, distortions and interactions during live musical event are random by nature, never static and made by natural acoustic means. The interactios, distortions and resonances in audio are always static, almost done as a byproduct of sound reproduction and the most important musicians do not entrench those effects into thier performing intentions. That Glen Gould it would be pushing his keys slightly different, at the different time, and will be using slightly different instrument if he knew that his play will be heard basically in closets.

I think it is very similar what happened with MSG . When 100 years ago Japanese discovered that MSG extracted from seaweeds greatly benefit their umami it was certainly a wonderful idea in a specific deliberat application. Then, when the celebrated Japanese restaurant syndrome was proliferated to the West and nowadays zillion of helpless cooks substitute their disability to get natural taste from fake agriculture forced to add gasoline made MSG substitute into the tasteless food that is that is obviously not the same as the original MSG application was.
