I consider myself a pure objectivist. If something can be heard it can be measured.
That said a stereo that has little or no fidelity that plays to audibility can cost almost nothing. But a stereo that plays at lifelike levels in extremely large listening spaces, is capable of full range performance AND fidelity to a wide diversity of recordings can be astronomically expensive.
IMO, at given price points, the best stereo systems cost less than the most accurate systems at any price point because they sound better - ie. their strengths and weakness's align with the persons preferences who buys them.
But that's just my opinion.
