Is it all worth it?

Mapman,

i agree with you. I don't have very expensive gear, maybe 8-10k retail in my system. But I enjoy a pair of Silverline Minuets in my bedroom, or Ohm Walsh 2 just fine.

Glad you are enjoying your speakers!

Again, I'm a lightweight here. Several years ago I was just trading to trade, and more passionate about the process of trading/buying than music.

Once, I offered to sell some equipment to my buddy, Wayne. He asked 'What are you trying accomplish by switching? What are you hoping to gain? 

I didn't have the best answer, and we both laughed a little. 

Mapman, I know your love for Ohms- they are special speakers. 

Best-

Good points-

I’m happiest enjoying live and recorded music without analyzing the gear.

I read an article awhile back stating at some point technology will be so powerful and change so rapidly that a human will be forced to enhance it’s body in order to take full advantage and compete.Meaning become part machine, or a cyborg.

Wonder if music will advance to a point that an imperfect wooden instrument will be replaced with a machine? Or a human voice will be deemed imperfect in it’s natural form?

As much as I love the useful advancements in medicine and technology making our lives easier, I hope we don’t think our way into extinction.

I’m off to microwave some dinner...
