Absolutely. Good music isn't about fidelity.
Lots of people in the 40s and 50s enjoyed listening to Frank and Elvis' songs broadcast by AM (mono) radio (10kHz bandwidth) and reproduced by one or two oval 2x6" speakers of their cars.
The 1939 Carnegie Benny Goodman concert was recorded with mikes and lathes cutting aluminum acetates with no better than 5 kHz fidelity. They were lost until the 50s, then released on an LP that sold over a million copies. It sounds great on Youtube; I was wondering what else sounds that good with a first-order roll-off at 5k.
