For the folks disagreeing with you, I think a helpful analogy might be to think of it like a recipe.

It's art meant to be enjoyed in a particular fashion, and will naturally be less enjoyable when prepared or consumed in another manner.

There's a valid argument to be made for remixing it for shitty speakers, since it doesn't seem hard and would make a lot of people happy, but artists shouldn't be obligated to bastardize their work if they don't want to
