If you are worth millions then $100k is reachable without any thought. . $$$$$ is in the ears of the beholder. Whatever makes you happy is what matters. There is a different world I cannot imagine. I heard 50k speakers that could not compete with my DYI speakers. No contest. I expected the other way around. Not! $$$$ do not always equal sound accuracy or overall dynamic sound quality.
For those of you who had spent over hundred thousand dollars for your sound system.
Do you think, in retrospect, that you could have gotten better sound quality out of your sound system with much less money spend. Do you have any regrets for spending huge amount of $$$? If you can start all over again, what would be different this time around? Let’s talk about electronics only and not room improvement for now. I know they go together, but the subject becomes very broad - assume your room is near perfect for sound reproduction.
P.S. Mike Levine, please don't shy away from the subject.
