I feel like just about anything can play back some female vocals and a walking bass line.
Yes...it can and does. Play that stuff through $20,000 speakers and $20,000 worth of amp-preamp and compare to $1,500 speakers of a similar size/configuration of the expensive speakers driven by $1000 integrated amp. Get 10 people blindfolded, play both and I bet they'd be guessing at which actually sounded better.
