Downgrading

Probably a smart move for many.

Musical enjoyment may often need not necessarily suffer.

"Right-sizing" might be a more useful term to describe achieving ones goals, even lofty ones, with less.

Expectations need to be realistic. That might involve downgrading them especially in the case where one expects their system to transform recordings to what they want or expect them to be rather than what in fact they really are.

Yes, all the heavy hitters here please downgrade. That will help make my rig look better!
