That's a bit of a fuzzy statement.My take on hifi is that I listen to what is enjoyable, rather than what conforms to a somewhat philosophically problematic notion of accuracy or verisimilitude.
Of course sometimes accurate is enjoyable.
This approach has led me to a high quality Allnic tube amp for jazz and acoustic music, a powerful solid state amp for rock and classical, a parallel vintage system for that vintage sound and various Fosi Class D amps for fun. I would very much like to add a Purifi Eigentakt amp also.
My point, other than that I like playing with gear, is that nothing in hifi is right or wrong so long as it gives the end user pleasure and leads to an emotional response to the music.
I do understand you enjoy playing with gear, and can obviously afford it, that's fine for you.
I would like to make a couple alternate comments on your full post.
The first is, if you started with that SS amp and some reasonably accurate speakers, you could have all the rest with the introduction of some EQ or Pro sound accessories and not had to spend thousands and thousands of extra money to get there.
The second, is it wrong? Maybe not for you but what about others. Is it just fine for the High End media to tell readers about all the magic, veils removed, walking on audiophile water they'll get from a $500,000 turntable, amp, or handful of voodoo cables? Hell this stuffs not even Hi-Fi, it's just a pile of add-on distortion.
I find this a form of emotional blackmail or extortion to lie to unknowing customers in this way.
It's right up there with the TV preacher telling folks if they send in a $1,000 donation they'll go to heaven or some other such BS
