Not quite, Jim. Pop type recordings are mixed by their engineers for the
very best sound they can get in their control room. To say they will sound
just as good on a 'music centre' or whatever isn't the case.

A poor sound system will degrade everything. Likewise, a good one will get
the best from everything.
