I don’t agree at all. I suspect it is more that you don’t like classical as much so haven’t necessarily found the timing intricacies.
Relatively speaking, there aren't any. When you are listening to a large orchestra you are hearing dozens of people playing, some of whom are thirty or forty feet apart. It doesn't matter how good they are, they cannot time like a decent rock band. Classical is about ebb and flow, not snap and crack.
If it's a smaller group, a quartet or quintet maybe, it's acoustic instruments which are not as demanding to reproduce as electric ones.
When you go to a Hi-Fi shop what do they demonstrate with? Everyone knows the answer to this. It's a small acoustic group, maybe a female singer and a guitar or something along those lines. It ain't ACDC! But it should be. They use music that shows off the system because the system can do a good job of it. You play 'Back In Black' at volume on your stereo and you'll find out pretty darn quickly how capable it really is.
