Flexibility to some degree.....and since I wear aids in ears, ultimate performance for myself is ’Do I like what I’m hearing?" is the final arbiter....
I run an odd collection of items I won’t bore with unless PM’d.
Part of what’s amassed is to compare/contrast different speakers with regard to what my diy’s create....that, and it’s just fun to f’round with.
My best investment? SOTA aids in my ears. ’A Mac in my head, $-wise’ beats the jock off of one on the shelf I’d have to eq and room tweak to an extreme....
Have your ears measured by a Good audiologist.....You will be surprised, or at least, made comfy.....
*kicks soapbox aside* Look, I’m off doing The Odd, and enjoying y’all wandering the periphery of what’s possible....informative mostly, entertaining to varied degrees.
If considered a ’tolerable troll’, so be it....been called worse.... ;)
Go forth and do what'cha do, J
