@asctim , I cycle a lot. When people ask me about bicycles, I say there are 4 very important things. 1) Geometry. A bike that fits you perfectly will be comfortable. 2) Shifters that work properly and reliably. No one likes to fuss with difficult shifters. 3) The most comfortable seat you can afford. 4) Bike shorts. Carbon this and that, aero wheels, a pound here and there .... how many of us are fit enough, or racing such that it makes a difference? I do advocate for tubeless tires though. Better rolling resistance with less tire pressure makes for a more comfortable ride.
Audio systems are similar. How many audiophiles have a room properly designed and treated to extract everything that the electronics or speakers can do or get the most out of the recording? Few. How many optimize their bass with subwoofers and rooms treatment and active bass management? More, but still few.
I do like my big TV, but that is only because my eyes are not what they once were. I can relax in the recliner where I like to sit and not have to squint when there is text on the screen.
