Where does the speaker setup sweetspot exist where you get maximum sound quality without becoming a pathetic 'audiophile' manchild that spends too much for negligible difference?

Spending between $200 and $500 on a decent receiver and two speakers. Less than $300 on a decent turntable if you're into vinyl.

active speakers from engineering driven manufacturers like neumann/klein&hummel, genelec, hedd, eve audio, geithain, kii, amphion, ...
constantly pushing what's possible with modern speaker designs, materials, amplification and dsp.
of course you're paying more for r&d with the small quantities they're selling compared to a huge hifi brand but that stuff blows 'high end' brands and their prices completely out of the water.

desu your post reads a bot post that learned its vocabulary from scanning audiophile forums and I have no idea what you're saying

I don't see what's so hard to understand.

spoonfeed me a speaker setup for my apartment.
I don't mind spending money on nice things but am perpetually afraid of regret of spending too much on memes. My entire life is a state of agony and constant fear that I am being lied to by marketing bullshit. I waste hours upon hours researching items for my consumer lifestyle in our capitalist system without ever actually buying anything due to this fear.
I just want my music to sound noticeably great without getting jewed.

then the easiest thing would be listening with your own ears, wouldn't it?

The most common recommendation I see for a good entry into quality speakers is the JBL LSR305. They usually run around $150 each or so but they go on sale sometimes too.

Speakers are the most important part of any set-up. Really good speakers will last 10-20yrs so think of the $$ you spend amortized over the life of the speakers and it helps ease the pain a bit.
A decent set should cost you $500-$1500 EACH (thats not anywhere close to high end)- but obviously that depends on your needs/room etc...
The most important part is to listen some speakers in a shop with music that you know well. Sometimes the best sounding speaks are not always the most expensive

This guy knows.
If you want quality you are gonna have to pay for it.
