Down-graded and happy?


I would like to hear from all those who have succesfully down-graded and are satisfied with the sound.
Since, I am still on this merry go around forever upgrading - help me get off this horse.

There was this post about how he down graded from Krell to Acurus amp, and he is satisfied - the sound is a little less liquid and transparent, but not by that much - and he can live with it.

If you have found your sonic-nirvanah, and have down-graded it, could you explain why (in terms of Hifi terms)?

Thanks, and I hope we all get there without breaking our bank account - keeping our loved ones happy as well.

I've gone from Dayton Wright xg 8 electrostatics (with upgraded panasonic leaf tweeters), Threshold sl-10 pre amp and 4000 amp, linn sondek sp12 turntable with dynavector 505 arm and ruby cartridge to the following:
1)magnepan 1.6 QR
2)luxman r-117 receiver
3)sony 75es cd player 4)all more apartment friendly and bought for less than the price of the turntable of my prior high end system- Great sound and inexpensive.

The Dayton Wrights (when working) were the finest speakers I've heard along with those listed in my list of top ten speakers of all time.
