the so called personal taste is a matter of sonic flaws and imperfections from the systems
Respectfully, I strongly disagree with this specific point.
In my opinion, the main reason people have personal tastes is, well, because they have personal tastes. Yes, a chef can have a more refined palate, but if I have simple tastes and I really like a cheeseburger, no one can tell me I am wrong or that I need to learn more about food. If I enjoy it, I enjoy it.
But, more improtantly, my tastes buds are not your tastes buds. And, in audio, this is where HRTF plays such a critical role - our brains are not wired identically, we don't all perceive sound waves the same way, and our pinnas are shaped differently to receive those sound waves - by definition, no matter how well optimized, you and I will hear the exact same system differently.
I do think there is tremendous value, like you, in optimizing systems and synergy - heck, that's what we're all doing here in these forums, exchanging ideas and impressions, dreaming, buying, debating, etc
But it all starts first with our tastes, to which we optimize. And someone's taste can never be flawed. It just IS.
Peace
