Having paid $2000 around 1980 for the vintage Klipschorns I still use, albeit with 10 year old crossovers, what I paid for everything else over the years is all out of balance considering that to replace them would cost me north of $20,000 today.
I paid just half that 1980 price for my Earle Weston integrated valve amp in 2011, about the same for my Antipodes streamer/server in 2017 and a bit more for my Denafrips Pontus DAC last year.
Today, I would never pay 20 Grand for anything other than a motorbike or car.
