Yeah this is difficult. The shops I've dealt with have generally
acknowledged that things like the "naim sound" for example is an
acquired taste and not a truly sonically uncoloured solution, so they
freely talk about the way things sound as being a preference. That can
still be described as an "improvement" if that's the type of sound you
like, however, in subjective terms anyway.

The price question is trickier. No-one is under the impression that the
amount of engineering that goes into a £2k speaker cable (for example)
is required to make the sound come out of the speakers. But once it's
done, that company has to recoup those costs. Every company uses high
end products to elevate their advertising profile to sell more low end
stuff. They all state their more expensive one is "better". Me? I don't
care, as long as they don't actually fake results and mislead.
