Once you spend anything but the minimum on speakers then you very quickly find that everything else in the room has a far bigger impact on the sound than the speakers themselves.
The size of room, floor material, wall material, etc all have a huge impact on the sound. Obsession over "fidelity" is fine in an actual recording studio but makes no sense for actual home listening where just moving around the room will change the sound, so who's to say what the "correct" sound is.

I listened once to a wall of different studio monitors in a music shop, and the differences between them were very obvious. And there was no clear "best", at least not in a subjective kind. The objective specs were pretty similar since they were all mid-range price wise.
