When building my home system, I've always worked from the idea that the point of a good audio system is to produce music that is enjoyable, no matter what kind of music it is.
You hear a lot of people, whether they are talking headphones or speakers, say that "Headphone X is no good for Y music" or "Don't buy X speakers unless you only listen to jazz." Of course, most people don't keep a rotating stock of speakers at home like people here keep headphones, but the issue still comes up a lot on this board.
I'd like to think that it's not necessary to have 3 pairs or more of headphones in order to make all music types sound good. So what do people think-can you acheive musical enjoyment with one headphone and one amp with all source material? From jazz to rock to hip-hop to classical? What are those "magic combinations" of equipment for people who listen to a full spectrum of music?
