plsl, you r lucky. My wife was very understanding at first, but recently she has put her foot down, I guess I've upgrade one to many times for her. Next year is looking more promissing, which is good cause daddy wants a new subwoofer and another pre.. Not rich, just a good shopper. pete
Are you Guys Rich or What!?
I have an old system, nothing special, Adcom, Vandersteens etc and I recently set foot for the first time in a "high end" shop, hoping to get to the next level of audio nirvana. When I saw some of the prices for monoblock amplifiers, cables, the latest speakers etc, I practically fell off my chair when I realized that I could blow $50-100K pretty easily on this stuff. I am not rich. Do you big budget system guys all work on Wall Street or something or do you eat macaroni and cheese most nights to put a few bucks away for CDs and your next upgrade?
