As I get older, I've come to realize that my ears are what hear the music. You'd be amazed at how much hearing loss the majority of males have after 50, I'm 55. If you are younger you may be able to hear a big difference between speakers in the same setting but as you start getting older it starts getting more difficult. Go audition some speakers and pick a pair that is within your budget and enjoy the music. The odds of having a group of friends come over and marvel at the amount of $ spent on your speakers is pretty slim. Good Luck!
