@grislybutter - apparently so :)
@aj523 - I’m not shaming anyone here, your doing that all by yourself. More power to you that you can spend $25K on speakers, I think that’s great. Likewise, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what I said either. I’ve been in this hobby for over 40 years and sold audio at retail for a few years about 30 years ago. There’s definitely a point of diminishing returns in this hobby if that’s of any importance here.
For example, I have put together systems under $5K that hold their own with systems cost 5X more and are nearly just as good, and are the 20K speakers really that much better than the $10K ones? I’ll bow out now. Have fun, Enjoy the process, and I hope you find exactly what you are looking for.
