I disagree -- in most sound systems, the room is generally the most limiting factor.
Pardon the reductio ad absurdum, but would you prefer to listen to $1,000 speakers in a dry, padded listening room, or to $100,000 speakers in a tile bathroom? Obviously the room matters; I think most people underestimate by how much.
Probably. I should have left it at "it's not the recording format" and not nominated a limiting factor.
I'd take the bathroom, given that my singing voice sounds less worse there! :-)
