Dilemma? How about "fun." Great audio is FUN, and if you're too tightly wound to have fun since you may be worried about your subs or "early reflections" (good name for a book) or toe-in...you should do something else. I look for new music frequently, and sometimes get curious about some new amp or something and when I try something and it's good, it's MO FUN. Bloviating hobby extremists who are utterly obsessed about sharing their self inflicted audio issues are clearly tedious and unhappy people needing therapy...and maybe another hobby.
