How competitive are you with your system?

Do you try to rank your system with others’?
Or are you content with enjoying your rig for what it is?

Just dumb.

Curiosity is different from competitiveness. In addition, I believe one can enjoy improving their system based on what gear and new innovations are out there, as well as their own budget, without viewing it as a competition with others. @lanx0003 said, In my opinion, your goal should be to assess how closely your system can reproduce the sound of a live performance on stage. Certainly to each their own but, my goal is for my system to sufficiently allow me to enjoy listening to music in my home.
