Thanks for the thoughts...I agree...still working on #3!

Once you finally experience an ultra low distortion system in a good room, you should realize it all comes down to levels of distortion. For some, it doesn’t click right away and they continue down the pseudoscience rabbit holes. 

I myself have to fight like hell to keep those three tenets in mind and listen to the MUSIC.

Yes enjoying the music is so important.  If you procure a system that allows you to forget the sonics and just dig into the music itself, that’s the right system for YOU.  I find myself too often looking at my music collection with the perspective of "what is going to sound good" vs what do I want to feel.  An important distinction and even though sonic characteristics are fun to experience, music enjoyment itself is the ultimately most satisfying experience between the two.

@gkelly if you have first reflections covered I’d say experiment with that switch, especially if there are returns or a demo available!  Also you can build those panels if you care to, just sayin!
