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 posted to the "Burn-out" thread but this one has a different slant--so here I am. I put my cat3 and First sound pre's on the back burner and got a Placett RVC for 850. Quite the piece for the money; or otherwise. Then I picked up a pair of Lowther horns cheap. Even more astounding--price-point or otherwise. They image like a champ and a mid range that puts my 9k 200lb floorstanders to shame. True !! -----Then I was talking with David in St.Louis and he has an intergrated for 500 that will be all I would need period.---Is it actually possible to spend less and get more??? Who knows----
