Personal taste matters a great deal.
No matter how expensive one piece of gear is, it does not mean it's better for all listeners in all systems.
What good is it to have a 300 lb, $20k amplifier if you don't actually like the sound of it more than a 10 lb, $2,000 amp? Is the $20k amp really "better" for you, or does it just have a better brand and more expensive parts?
Best,
E
