A far better approach is to seek the lowest amount of coloration and distortion.
do understand there are other viewpoints that are equally valid in a world of imperfection. Especially depending upon the type of preferred music. My electrostats are incredibly neutral and pure sounding. On acoustical music, they render a most natural presentation. On the other hand, they are large, possess low WAF, inefficient, highly demanding of amplifiers, as dipoles they are demanding of positioning, require bias adjustments whenever there are changes in humidity, are expensive and cannot play at rock concert levels. Clearly, they are not for everyone.
On the other hand, there are many horn speaker afficianados who demand high efficiency and high SPL output capability and are forgiving of the colorations (midrange hollowness or honkiness) and bandwidth limitations associated with quite a few, if not all of them. After all, that's the way rock music is heard in the live environment!
To each his own.
