"After all, *everyone* here knows that the room/speaker interface is, BY FAR, the most critical metric used to obtain the best sound quality from any sound system. This is closely followed by using the very best source material available for the music I like to listen to."
No offense at all to RW, but I don't fall into the *everyone* catagory. His recommendations are valid and important things to consider, but there's just more too it than that. Even if you get everything he mentions right (and you need to), there's plenty more ways to mess up a system.
