What's a great system at these price points?


Friends,

This is the information age. Let's think systems, not just components, and discuss how to cost-optimize the high-end listening experience. Anyone with money to burn can be wasteful. Can you achieve the high end experience on budgets like these?

Price points (maximums:) $500, $1000, $2000, $3500, $5000.

Let's say the cost of a computer or other digital source is not included. Above $3000 there should be more than one hi-fi audio zone. Above $4000 it should have 5 or more separate zones.

Wanna play? OK, go.

Joseph, as I mentioned in another post where you were singing the praises of the Audioengine products, you should really be clear that you are a dealer for that product. I don't doubt your insights but listing this disclaimer is in your own best interest.

As I expressed in this other thread, real "high end" performance comes at a price and I do not believe it can be achieved at or below any of the price points you list. It would likely be a stretch at even $10K. Maybe there is a personal preference and definitional issue at play here as you may really be talking about what I would refer to as good mid-fi with the type of systems you describe.
