The rule of income constraints means I can't have a bunch of rooms with a bunch of rigs that exploit one or two virtues to their zenith. Consequently, I go fo the virtues that I care most about. Chief among those is impeccable imaging followed by dynamics, which in my estimation goes hand in hand with convincing depth of field. Bass is needed, and it needs to be decent, but reaching 15Hz isn't a priority at all. I'll never use subs. Of course tone and neutrality are critical, but I don't think I put the shameless emphasis on tone that some do. Efficiency.... Not a critical factor. Dispersion is only important in how it influences other factors.
I'm not looking for a holy grail. I'm looking for what I like.
