IMO I find that most people cannot tell what sounds good until one points out what the system is actually sounding like. I also find that most people have not actually heard enough to understand what makes a system sound the way it does and how to change it for the better.
I was at recently at a friends home and we swapped in another piece of equipment. The other people there right away said I like that better. The person whose system it was said well I don't think that way and pointed out why he felt his piece sounded as good or better.
So I realized that his opinion is just that, his opinion. I could have sat there and explained what and why but why bother. Each of us likes what we like. I don't need anyone to say anything different. Go with what you prefer which could be a more warm musical system versus a more resolving system, etc. It doe snot matter. If you like what you are hearing and it makes you want to listen to music, then that is all that matters.
Happy Listening.
