Spot on. A bespoke listening room is essential, if you want to appreciate expensive HIFI components. Much cheaper devices will also sound incredible, within a room designed entirely for music. Not too many reflective surfaces etc. Not even windows and really quiet aircon would be needed. You also want some nice comfy leather seating, but not too many soft items to absorb that lovely treble you've paid a fortune for!I'd start with having a room built specifically for sound reproduction. The room is always the limiting factor, and many people end up with an unsuitable system for the room it is going in. The right system in the right room doesn't necessarily have to be mega bucks, because it's all working harmoniously.
