Kenjit you are a tool that doesn't understand context.
The first part pertains to the fact that even with a well setup set of loudspeakers you still have to appreciate that loudspeakers set of attributes.
So for example you may hear a well setup set of Harbeths, and you may not like their imaging for example, or you may not like their amount of bass or their dynamic capabilities, or whatever vs another set of speakers which is also well setup.
The other issue is lets say you hear a set of Harbeths on a $300.00 Sony receiver you may not be hearing what the loudspeaker is capable of vs a good dealer driving the speakers with the right matching gear.
So you have the following variables:
Particular set of speakers overall qualities, ie intrinsic attributes.
Did you get a demo of said speakers on suitable class or equipment?
Did you get a demo of said speakers with other possible more pleasing voiced alternative components vs the original setup which you didn't like?
Another example a really bright super detailed set of loudspeakers being run with Halcro for example with all silver cables, and a high resolution dac, do you think this combination of bright detailed loudspeakers, bright detailed electronics, bright detailed cabling and a bright detailed source is going to sound
vs
Bright detailed speakers, coupled with a warm sounding Tube or amplifier such as a CJ, or Naim, coupled with warmer cables Kubala or Cardas and a warm sounding tubed front end such as a Lampitzator is going to sound?
We are sure you are going to claim that DSP can overcome all of these limitations and equipment matching is a myth.
