RE: If you had experience with high performance audio

Agree in part.

Some system synergy can be readily accounted for by common measurements, either system wide or component wide. Other system synergy requires more sophisticated measurements that are not commonly known and which may represent "secret sauce". Some system synergy remains beyond anyone's ability to measure. Finally, in some cases the concept itself is entirely relative to a specific listener, viz. the ongoing disputes between subjectivists. It is likely that many differences between listeners reflect different weightings of individual dimensions of sound quality.

In many cases, there are known engineering tradeoffs between two or more sonic parameters. It has also been shown that listeners can develop their ability to discern some of these dimensions through experience, study and training. In some cases (e.g. hard core objectivists) personality aspects preclude doing the necessary "head work". Some of these people are willfully deaf to subtle sonic differences.
