    How do you know speakers are **** up the sound? The AR Live vs Recorded tests were kind of eye openers. They weren't using today's "cutting edge" loudspeakers and amp/preamp combos either. Probably open-reel master recordings as a source. People thought they were listening to artists performing live in front of them. Not too shabby for the 50's and 60's technology.

    I'll go with:
    1 - speakers
    2 - room interactions
    3 - track mastering
    4 - mood/alcohol

    Those are the biggest 4 factors for me.


    1 - speakers
    2 - speaker arrangment with in the room
    3 - room interactions
    4 - track mastering
    5 - mood/alcohol

    The only thing that matters is the source. Every other component should get the f**k out of the way.

    Ideally, preamps, amps, speakers, cables, etc. should "do no harm." If a component has a "sonic signature," get rid of it.

    Two speakers can be equally faithful to the source, but still sound different.
