they are counterproductive to your posts, and have poor applicability to the discussions at hand. And are decidedly not creative, funny, or interesting.

""If what you say is true there would be no need to have blind listening tests""

Yes and no, blind listening tests don't have much value: their application is important perhaps later, as a point of fun, to help show us where we excel or fall short, in critical listening.

If you are being caught up in getting what's best, - then you are ripe for failure.

For we listen to systems, a gestalt, not individual components. In fact, it is sometimes better to acquire a particular component that performs a little worse comparatively, yet has a symbiosis with another piece of equipment, or other combinations of components. Plus, we look to find the RIGHT application for the particular system and sets of components. You do put 6 ft tall Wilson Maxx speakers in an 13 by 14 room.

""But it seems that we tend to hear what we want to hear. Even more so with a financial conflict of interest involved.""

That is an extremely negative viewpoint, and it is largely untrue. Acquiring a lovely sound system is individual, and complicated. We all have different tastes, different rooms, different experiences: (different applications). A common mistake, (if you want to call it that), is to do what you're doing. (If that is what you are doing, based on your wrong headed assumptions, idiotic anecdotes, and obvious inexperience: I question whether or not you are here to troll).


If you are looking to get yourself a system that you like...

Quite simply, you need to go out and listen to complete systems so that you can understand system synergy. You need to ask a lot of questions from a humble perspective. You need someone to walk you through a series of experiences to help you understand what is possible based on who are you, what you like, what you already have, (room), and what is best.

Or, there's always a Sharp boom box....
