There is audiophiles focusing on gear upgrades without end because they can afford it...
They ignore acoustics controls...( at best they buy panels)
There is non audiophiles who pay the least for the gear and claimed their system beat audiophiles one, they mock audiophiles...
But they also ignore acoustics controls...( they read gear specs thats all )
But there exist audio wise people who learn how to set a system right and learn acoustics basics...They listen to the system/room...
They are neither subjectivist nor objectivist...
They know....
