Perfect sound is a complete red herring. I'm not sure great sound is even obtainable. I've writtten long, boring posts on whether live music is a good objective standard. IMO it is not, but that's for another fight.

The only time a system will sound great is when the owner/listener has determined to be content. That's a little esoteric, or nebulous for many people. Contentment is a choice, not the result of a great system. People chase an ideal they can never obtain while ignoring contentment that everyone can possess.
