+1 for the T shirt.
Room and Speakers together are the most important choice and investment you can make.
Many if not most audiophile grade sources and amps are very good to fantastic in our modern world.
The room and speakers usually leave the most to be desired and have the most impact on cost and sound of the system.
$100,000 system with a poor room and poorly placed and inappropriate sized speakers with listening chair against a wall ...will sound awful.
I have never heard a really terrible sounding audiophile grade source or amp but I have heard many many awful sounding audiophile grade speakers.
