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!
