It's all about synergy. Matching your speakers to your room and your music preferences. Matching your amp to your speakers. Finding the source that emphasizes the qualities you find valuable. The current buzz word seems to be musicality over micro detail. Where on the spectrum do you see yourself and how much time and effort are you willing to spend to get there or is it just the dollars. Both ways work but it's also possible to invest a lot and not achieve your goal if you aren't specific what you are looking for.
For me it's taken years maybe even decades to learn what I want to hear, what's important musically and how to get there. My approach certainly isn't the only way but it sounds good to me and I feel I'm on the right track.
