Garbage in = garbage out is a red herring.. even entry level source and amps are pretty good.. therefore there is no "garbage in". There is a little bit better in, there is I like the sound of that in a little better than another in, but there is no garbage in.
ALL speakers are colored, have the highest levels of distortion of all components by a LARGE margin, and have the most severe limitations when it comes to integrating them into the room.... so this is actually a stupid debate. You have to find a speaker that fits your room and your tastes. What comes before is icing on the cake,, the speaker is the cake.
1. Drive a $1000 speaker with a $100,000 front end and it sounds like a $1000 speaker.
2. Drive $100,000 speakers with a $1000 front end and its not as good as it can be, but it will sound much better than #1
end of debate, you can close this thread
