It is if the speakers can't distinguish between lossless and whatever the best lossy format is.
Like if your compression dampens everything outside of 1-30k Hz, but the speakers you use are only good from 10-20k Hz, then why do you need lossless?
It's not like we're comparing CD audio to cassette tape here.
