Diminishing returns?

I have a Denon X3700, which I bought primarily for it being within my budget, and capable of handling 8k and HDMI 2.1.  I’m currently in the market for floor standing speakers that will serve a dual purpose as both  2ch audio, and the L/R in a 5.1.

I would imagine at some point, the limitations of the receiver will outweigh the benefits of purchasing higher-end speakers?  In essence I would lack the equipment necessary to truly bring out the best in the speakers.  Is this an incorrect assumption?  Assuming I don’t plan on using anything besides the aforementioned Denon, at what price point would investing in more expensive speakers be pointless?

"...Sadly, this place is run by 2-ch fanatics (majority of them are deep into Vinyl or should I say anti-digital) Do you see the pattern, they have a one track mind….digital is bad, home theater sucks..."

I think you mean, luckily this place is for two channel enthusiasts. I still have my 60s and 70s LPs but I only listen to digital sources.

Quality not quantity.
