How many enjoy low $ second system sound?

To many my $10K system of Zu Essence and various amps of SET mono's, SET integrated, hybrid integrated etc. might be meager pickings but even the founder of ZU was impressed with the sonics provided. But I am amazed how satisfying it is to listen to my new Energy RC 10's at less then $300/pr. connected to a rare, $200 Adcom SS integrated streaming jazz through my iMac connected with RShack 3.5mm y-connectors from computer to amp. All bought for back ground music in the evening's or Saturdays when I don't want to fire the SET tube monoblocks and just want some sound. This little set up is really satisfying and I am amazed how nice it sounds each time I listen. So now the question - how much have I overspent through the years when I am so taken back by $500 worth of components? Get's one to thinking!!

I do enjoy my second system and it delicacies, ( Red Rose Music R3 speakers, Jadis tube integrated, Jadis Ref3 CD player ) that resides at our summer spot. But by the time the weekend is over I'm quite ready to get reacquainted with my main system and it's full sound. The second music maker is in a very large room with a 12' vaulted ceiling and many windows so the room is less than ideal for two way speakers. I have tried a number of quality subs but they seemed to cause as many problems as they solve.
Inna , I have a friend with an elaborate bathroom/ensuite system, just upgraded from two 15"sub's to two 18's. I should mention the bathroom is huge and sports a 12 man hot tub , big screen and mini bar.
