There's probably a few more approaches than just those 2 you mention, but they are all just personal preferences and personal prefernce plays a huge part in what we like and enjoy.The bottom line is still going to be the fact that if you don't enjoy listening to a particular speaker or component, then you simply shouldn't buy it, no matter how well it measures. Enjoyment is both personal and subjective and there's nothing wrong with passing up something you don't like in favour of something you do. Even within either of those 2 approaches you mention, you will find different items vying for your money and some of them will appeal to you while others don't, even though each may be equally well regarded overall. It's just that we tend to like something that performs well on the parameters that are important to us, and 'hides' its compromises in the parameters that are least important to us. Listen to something else that overall measures as well, but has some of its strengths in the areas that are less important to you and a weakness in something that is important to you and you'll certainly prefer something else.
