Regarding the "music radar" link, and we thank you for that, all the speakers listed were bridge monitors. nothing bigger than an 8 inch LF, and no qualifying information (data sheet)
So of course you can't reproduce an orchestral tutti in an average size room. But there are larger speakers built for monitoring recordings. The ATC SCM 100 and the JBL LSR6332 come to mind. both are capable of capturing a full orchestral tutti, and both have amazingly similar response curves. I've not heard the ATC but I've heard from others that they sound very much like the JBL's.
I would take Kal's position that the goal is to reproduce live music. As far as a recording is concerned the system should deliver what is there. If one is listening to a recording that is unlistenable, then the engineer wasn't doing his/her job.
