It's hardly audio snobbery. It's called intellectual honesty.
But you should notice of the 3 I quoted, all are associated with audio publications. Making such intellectually honest statements certainly does not help them sell magazines. I suspect that's why we only hear them admit such things about 1 or twice every 10 years.
But that's fine.
BTW, Valin did not say only 15% of the music, he said, "15% of the magic".
Potentially a big difference. Now he did not explain what he meant but I assume he meant 15% of the believability or 15% of those highly desirable or sought after characteristics that a playback system is unable to reproduce.
IMO, it's more like 35 - 40% of the music that's inaudible.
But just to confirm whether or not you understand, try this little experiment. Next time you're listening to some percussive instruments, listen for maracas or windchimes. Close your eyes and envision based on what you hear, whether or not these little instruments sound like they are 3ft in length or diameter or more like 3 inches.
Enjoy your system.
