I'm not "well heeled" but I like to spend money on tangible things that give me years, sometimes decades of enjoyment. I'm not one to hop on a plane and go somewhere , I would rather have something lasting. Can't think of anything better than something like a MA9000 or 12000. Those are great amps. A little beyond my means but worth it if you can afford it.
I buy used and new if I can and will almost always be selling what's displaced. I'd rather save for a year or two than compromise. I will usually stretch my budget to avoid buyer's remorse . Buyer's remorse is almost always due to lateral moves. If you avoid those you save in the end from not constantly rotating gear.
