This crazy hobby is a journey and not a destination, There is NO “best” option and certainly never in a binary choice blind option.
i am sorry but our hobby is not systematic frustration, dissatisfaction and ignorance combined with money throwing in the bin...
There is a destination defined by acoustic vocabulary, terms, and experiments...
There is a destination when we learn how to embed rightfully any system at any price , mechanically, electrically and acoustically..
Why?
Because a minimal S.Q. threshold of satisfaction can be reach with almost any system at any price with a method using these three dimensions controls possibilities in an economical manner...When this threshold is reached, upgrading has no more forceful appeal: we like all our music for the first time and we listen to it... Sound is no more a priority....
This hobby is not a journey without end, upgrading, there is an acoustically very definable destination...Learn basic acoustic...
All the contrary saying is only conditioned marketing deceiving repetition in a gear fetichism induced hypnotism ...
I apologize for saying this incovenient truth....
