Greetings!
After 30 some years of listening to, building, selling, and buying audio, my overall philosophy on audio reproduction is this:
No configuration of paper cones, wooden boxes and electronic parts can ever totally accurately reproduce 100 finely crafted musical instruments or replicate the sound from a concert hall or well designed room.
The best one could ever hope for is a close approximation of same that creates the illusion of reality.
So whether you're into the latest high tech ($$) amps, or vintage tube amps (like myself), esoteric speaker designs or conventional bookshelfs, if it creates an illusion of audio reality, it's as good as any other system.
Too many people end up listening to their equipment instead of their music.
That's why specs are only a part of the story. I've heard tube amps referred to as "signal processors" by those who claim they impart their "own sound" to the music. I ask you, what system doesn't??
The fun is in creating the illusion.....
Peace
