Qualities Of An End-game System

Qualities of an end game system: 

- Speakers disappear

- The room disappears

-  The listener disappears, his mind is shut down/gone.

- There is nothing left but the perception of falling into an abyss filled with music. 

- The listener doesn't know where any of the music came from, but, it is all inside of him. Sex, drugs, etc can't come even remotely close to such an experience of pure audio nirvana.

 

If your system can't do that (whatever it may be), you have no end game.

"End Game" seems like a variable term defined by expectations. reaching expectations is the end.

so my 'end game' would be different than yours. 

OTOH an 'ultimate system' might have certain commonalities, which i would agree include hearing the music and not gear or the room. that the music has flow and is lively, extended in the highs and lows, and has sufficient headroom to render large music naturally. and that it connects with the listener emotionally and is immersive and exciting.
