Yes, and I did just that.
From being very content in a large, older building on Ft. Lauderdale beach where we were both very happy. I friend convinced me to buy a middle-road DAC and listen to some remastered Grateful Dead at 192Khz-24b....within a year I had acquired 600 watt monoblocks and then dual subs once the house and room were secured with a closing date. A ten month renovation followed and the "end-game" home surpassed my biggest dreams of the perfect listening room, less maybe some treatment panels....can't have it ALL.
