What might work in my home system will not work in my work system, nor will what works well for speakers in my upstairs system work well for the downstairs system.And that's just for starters.
I'm quite sure if I replaced all the 45 degree horns in a stadium with direct radiators, that wouldn't work very well either. Or if I replaced the direct radiators in a nearfield monitor with horns with a 20Hz cut off :)
I think you're oversimplifying things here.

Some people treat audio cables like flavours. You know, kinda like there's only one or two that will "sound" proper for your system. This kind of thinking propegates the idea that you can give a cable a different name, different color, and a different price and it should sound different.I don't subscribe to that theory and I thought you didn't either.
I don't ascribe to any idea that the sound itself necessarily changes.Having said that, if the owner is happen and likes the "effects", those effects being due solely to the gestalt effect, what's your gripe?
By the way, be careful with those cheap shots, now you're acting just like the other side.,

I always thought that the main goal in Audio was to get to the point of Tranparentcy without coloration.Atleast that is my goal.Detail and accuratcy are also goals.Usually there are tradeoffs in a not so perfect world as when I switchout Woofer's and Tweeter's in my speaker's.Some people choose speaker's like Magnepan's which are known for their transpentcy ,but lack Bass .Some say that they do have Bass ,but not enough slam.
