Why do people care what their speaker wants?


Or amp. Or DAC, pre-amp, or whatever. Fill in the blank. Why does anyone care? Are speakers so haughty they get all moody and pouty if you don't give them what they want? I thought the whole point was to have a system that sounds the way we want it to sound? So why all the people asking what goes with what? What do they care? Why?

When I switched to Lowther Fidelios (well, actually when I paired them with 300B SET, bass was too shy with solid state), I noticed that there was a synergy between them and wind instruments.
I cannot say I cared, but the synergy was there, it was enjoyable, and it affected my listening choices.
After years I wanted smth. else, now Lowthers gather dust, but I’ll connect them again some day.
