Recent comment from another post. Do we presently chase a sound baked in our brain from our initial experience with audio?

From a different perspective, my system has been in storage for over 3 months as I am having a new house built.  I currently listen to my tunes via sony bluetooth headphones(which are fantastic) but I am curious to hear what my system sounds like once rebuilt in a new room.  Will it sound as I remember?  Will it be better/worse?  Will some records have an improvement and vice versa?  

I built my system around a sound that I like and curious if that will still be the case. Memory can be deceiving as well as romanticized.

I am bracing for the shock.  Its all part of this fun little hobby.  Here's hoping the sound improves as the room will be improved over what I had.  For starters its on a slab with plush carpeting instead of being on a a 2nd floor with hardwood floors and secondly, the electric is a direct run or dedicated circuit and an isolated ground from the panel with zero branch circuits. 

That alone should be on the + side
