Is it all worth it?

So this week I re-foamed a pair of Boston Acoustics a40 series ii speakers I bought 30 years ago for not very much at all by audiophile standards. Put them in my 12x12 sunroom running of my main system which has very good source and amplification and these things are blowing me away. You could find a pair online or at your local thrift shop for around $50. Why bother spending the big bucks?   Really makes one think.

+1 Chayro ! The High End audio direction towards  "hyper" detail and "ultra" resolution does seem to pull one's attention from music and instead an intense focus or obsession with the sound. There is the potential for eventual frustration and even disillusionment. I understand however each of us have our own objective/goals regarding audio systems.
