Yeah, for a large percentage of games it's pretty easy to have better speakers and lower-distortion amps connected to MAME than anything that was available in a cabinet. (Some games you miss out on the sub-bass reinforcing qualities of a big honkin' wood cabinet, but it's nothing a subwoofer can't help with).
Of course, sometimes better speakers just reveals how bad the original game sounded rather than bringing out more quality. Pole Position is probably the big example there.
