I sold and serviced a ton -maybe two? of speakers that I personally didn't want to own and didn't particularly enjoy listening to over the years.One of the least perfect was a speaker the store I worked at at the start of my audio career always had on "sale" for buy one at 99 bucks-get the second for 1 cent. But hitch hiking around my city taught me a lessen - I kept getting rides from guys who had bought a pair of those speakers from me and LOVED them . What was important was they listened to music thru them a lot. Over the next 50 years I sold a fair number of those guys speakers that they and I both thought sounded better. (believe me -not a big challenge). But to this day-this is what counts to me -how much time do you spend listening to music. The perfectionist customer mostly finds the flaws so objectionable that he can't enjoy music thru his not quit perfect system. The customer who simply has music as part of their life was way more likely to wander into my store and say "hey John -have you heard ............'and be talking about a piece of music -not the the latest fabulously expensive piece of audio bling. And this is still the apparently un -measured -maybe unmeasurable test that counts for me -if i add or subtract some component from my system and either listen more or less to music -that influences whether that component finds a home with me ( and of course what the pickins have been like out of the local dumpsters .
