The room is the place to begin, and makes the largest contribution to the sound quality of a system.

No. The room can be changed. You pick a speaker style and sound you like. You don't fall in love with Quads sound but then say but in this room I need K horns. I'm not minimizing the role the room plays but you are overemphasizing it. I make my own room treatments. The room size and other factors play a large role in getting the SPL you want but amp power and speaker size can overcome things that speaker brand and design style cannot. You have to pick a speaker you like first.

I would argue its easier to change the speaker than it is to modify the size and shape of the room. Yes, you can add room treatments, but your ability to modify the room is limited. If someone buys, say, a 20.7 Maggie and tries to fit them in a 10' x 10' room, it simply won't work optimally.
Most bad sounding systems I've heard are due to selecting the wrong speaker size/type for the room and/or poor placement.
There's greater synergy between the speakers and room than between any other parts of the system, and some types of speakers just aren't suited for some types of rooms.
I had Klipsch Heresy in this room and THAT was a mistake.
I'd LOVE to have some JMR OFFRANDE in here, had the $ for an available used pair
a few years ago but there's NO POINT in trying to force a star shaped peg into a round hole.
Room treatment here would have involved removing a wall.
Landlords frown upon such.
