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.

Regrets? Yes, and no:

Yes:I do regret spending what I spent. My system sounds slightly less good than it did in my old house. For those of you who don’t quite understand how profoundly a room contributes to the quality of sound...I don’t blame you. How can we know what we haven’t experienced? My old system, all in was $8k. My current system is 3x that but it comes very close...it’s about 85% of sound of my last room. There are things that are better: bass and resolution.

No: Because I’m still tweaking the layout of the room. It takes time. Also, the journey has been worthwhile. I have learned a lot...and that’s priceless.

Knowing what I know now, I'm confident I could have spent less and been content. Maybe.
