+1 @ghdprentice. I've spent decades building 4 different systems (one of them still in progress). I optimized them for a specific set of applications: A primary system for audio with a very strong 7.2 surround capability, a second system for my office where near-field monitoring, headphones and unattended use are key, one for outdoor listening & viewing and the last for general purpose background entertainment covering both audio and 5.1 video.
Every time I use any of them, I am always amazed at how I learn new things about the material they're presenting. Sure I can hear the technical differences, but I can't call them weaknesses. They all do what they were designed to and do it well. It's the material that matters. I'm always carried away and that's the whole point of this hobby.
