With audio your trying to replicate the sonic art of others this opens a huge can of worms since so many variables and biases exist. What works for one might not work for others we all have different needs desires biases education income tastes. While most can agree on what makes a proper picture since the eye is so easily tricked the ear is not as easily fooled. To me this is why audio can be so subjective. We deal with imperfect devises trying to replicate artistic intent. So as a audiophile we select the positive but also the imperfections we can deal with. I tend to fall into the horn camp I select for dynamics lifelike image greatly reduced thermal compression but at the same time I also select for increased coloration higher noise floor massive size etc. Nothing is perfect. And that is a good thing.
