Your survey results will just likely show that there is a divide between the speaker-first people and the source-first people, while the "truth" probably lies somewhere in between the philosophies of the two groups.I will not repeat one of my last post here....
Room acoustic controls is first and last critical component, nevermind the speakers type or the sources...Only acoutical law could give you the natural timbre experience....Not the branded patented name of your gear by itself alone... Not the price paid save for ignorant and rich people... Sorry....
