What an illogical statement.Measurements can be useful for engineers, no doubt. But is there any correlation between ever improving measurements and better sound? I think not! Audio products are made first for listening, not measuring, right! They're not scientific test instruments, they're entertainment, or at least I hope so!
Audio gear should be transparent. Measurements are the easiest way of verifying transparency.
Now, if transparent gear does not sound good, do you know what that means?
The recording is either badly done or not done to your taste.
There is a very simple solution for the latter, though if a recording is really bad, it might not be possible to salvage it:

I prefer to be in control of the coloration of my system and not relinquishing said control to the components.
Transducers excluded for obvious reasons.
Amir senpai, I know many people that would consider "benchmark money" quite expensive to borderline unobtainable.Absolute threshold is very well known. Achieve that and you don't need to be desperate for anything. If that performance was expensive, then sure, we would need to research lower levels. But since it is not, there is no need to sweat it.
