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.

@charles1dad ---good comment regarding the sound of my Viking Acoustic speakers and Canary Audio Grand Reference 300B Mono amps.  Aren't we all guilty of wondering if there is something better out there?  Are we ever totally satisfied with our system?  I really want to be but the curiosity of what if will always prevail.  LOL

BTW if you want to hear my system, check out YouTube under Viking Acoustic Grande Voix Speakers.

Most of my dollars spent have been on the music. THE MUSIC is the inspiration that led my search for the best way to listen to those tunes and voices and melodies that move me every time I hear them.  How fortunate we audiophiles are to have such library of artists sharing their work with us.

Looking back (about 40 years of hobby) - on this pile of money and mostly time spent - now I would refuse! - there are more important things in life ... the ideal sound is a ghost ... in most cases, less is enough.

What a different experience I have had. Now retired, one of the most rewarding pursuits I have had. Now that I have time to spend three or more hours a day it is so listening to music, incredibly rewarding and enjoyable. Certainly the best (guessing) $500K I have spent.
