"Each different design approach is accompanied by tradeoffs affecting musical quality and ultimately there's no clearly dominant design."
Wow! That is the best description of home audio I've ever read.
It's also true of almost every other field that's tightly coupled to our senses and cognition. It describes binoculars, hearing aids, cameras, scents, even cars, mates and houses.
And political systems, lawnmowers and fireplugs. Even systems of measurement and money.
There is only one common denominator...
