To me, that is an incredibly sad statement about the people who suffer from this problem. To think of spending all that time (and presumably quite a bit of money) searching for high-level sound quality only to discover your system is really unlistenable is a fascinating concept to me.

It's one thing to have quality limitations imposed by your budget, the room or other factors beyond one's control, but quite another to intentionally choose equipment you can't live with. That truly is an elephant in the room. Yet, one doesn't have to read this and other forums for long to affirm there are plenty of people who inflict perpetual unhappiness on themselves.
