I'm with Phil here. A/B is great for showing differences, but what does that mean? I find I have to live for a system for quite some before I can really decide if it's better. Yes there are often gross differences in tonality, but these don't really mean anything. I can thoroughly enjoy radically different systems; there's no single 'best', IMO. The stuff I buy is the stuff that allows me to really enjoy the music, and a wide range of music at that, within my value for money envelope. I need to have a system that I can enjoy for hours on end, not one that sounds impressive in a five-minute A/B.
