Robot Masters? If you mean having no creativity in the design then yes, they are better then mavericks. I mean seriously, i'm tired of the men already, at least mavericks try and be unique.
The characters are better? I'm not sure what you mean, surely you aren't trying to argue there is better character development in classic... because there isn't. It just doesn't happen. The X series simply spends more time and dialog on character development/plot... it's a fact.
The stages are better? I'm not sure how... the X stages are more oriented towards secrets and alternate paths, and also make use of an excellent feature, that is the wall-climb. There's a reason both the X and Zero series include that feature, and that's because it allows the levels to have much more creative layouts.
The music is better? Well this is a matter of opinion but I do think it's odd that you're the only one i've ever heard make that claim.
Just because it came first doesn't make it better... the X series was an improvement, that's why it keeps getting knew games and spinoffs, and classic doesn't.
