I definitely know what you mean about noticing lesser quality recordings through these speakers. I have always winced when I listened to some albums, and tended to play them less because of their quality.

Most of the music I listen to was recorded, mixed and pressed well, like Yes, for example. But even they suffered from one poor quality pressing (the first one). Same for Genesis - the earliest albums have noticeable hiss and lack dynamic range. A tough pill to swallow because those early albums needed the dynamic range the most - they have long quiet passages. King Crimson does too, In the Court of the Crimson King, for example. At least you can get that one in a half speed master pressing, which helps. Moody Blues too, their early albums also hissed and lacked range, but again, you can get them in half speed master pressings that are a lot better.

It's really a drag to have music that you love, but that you don't want to play because the pressing isn't that great. With any luck, your favorites are available in a re-release that is better quality.
