Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)

Are there other people so much amazed by a relatively low cost system , they consider that is not a stopgap but instead a minimally satisfying ectasy... Each day i am amazed by my speakers and headphone... Am i deaf? Am i ignorant of high end ? Be assured that i know better system with higher acoustic experience and more refined exist ...

My point is an experienced and felt minimal threshold of acoustic qualities and well done and well realized and well manifested acoustic factors exist for me and are at play, for the price invested; so much so , i consider any upgrade way less tempting and if possible would be more, way more , costlier to appear as a real upgrade in quality... For sure an upgrade of part at low cost unbeknowst to me is possible but i must live with what i have for now but i feel no frustration at all. 😊

Am i the only one deluded in this way or enlightened in this way ? Pick your choice of word.... 😎

I love my low cost office system. 

I repurposed speaker boxes, installed seas dual concentric drivers with recommended crossovers powered by a used Hegel H160 integrated amp and stream via a blue sound node. I recently added a small sealed REL subwoofer for a little deeper bass.

I look at my computer screen, 12 O'clock with speakers behind me, 4 feet back, one at 4 O'clock and one at 8 O'clock.I have some egg crate sound deadening foam mounted on the wall behind my computer screen. The room is only 9' X 13' giving it a cozy, comfy feel.

This system gives me so much enjoyment that It's hard to pry myself away to go to work. Part of it may be a clear head in the AM, really good dark roast coffee and cream.

I have a much higher-end system in my living room, but part of the enjoyment of the office system is knowing I didn't spend much to achieve such a level of enjoyment. Of course many would not be impressed and some would scorn my setup which is A-okay with me!
