the quest for the best--within limits


many threads appear on these forums of the following type:

what is the best (fill in component type) that costs less than (fill in the price point) ?

i am curious as to why there are so many threads of this type, when, i suspect, the originator of the thread probably realizes that there is no definitive answer to such a question.

Start listening to music and you will forget you even have a system. If you can hear your system, something is wrong. Maybe that's why there is so much talk about components. You people need to move up (up grade) to Polk and Harman Kardon!
Don't care. Rarely bother reading any thread with that word in the title. Actually, I highly encourage using "best" so I don't waste my time.

Yet, you wasted your time anyway!!!!
The answer to your question, MrTennis, should be obvious.

What fascinates me is the flip-side to that question when the erudite types provide the non-sensical response,

"There is no best component or right answer. Whatever is right to your ears is what's best."

That's always a classic.
