Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)

Are there other people so much amazed by a relatively low cost system , they consider that is not a stopgap but instead a minimally satisfying ectasy... Each day i am amazed by my speakers and headphone... Am i deaf? Am i ignorant of high end ? Be assured that i know better system with higher acoustic experience and more refined exist ...

My point is an experienced and felt minimal threshold of acoustic qualities and well done and well realized and well manifested acoustic factors exist for me and are at play, for the price invested; so much so , i consider any upgrade way less tempting and if possible would be more, way more , costlier to appear as a real upgrade in quality... For sure an upgrade of part at low cost unbeknowst to me is possible but i must live with what i have for now but i feel no frustration at all. 😊

Am i the only one deluded in this way or enlightened in this way ? Pick your choice of word.... 😎

Because it makes magic in my case there is no reason that i could be the only case... Thanks for your opinion...

a well-set-up low-cost system of pieces that play well together can make magic. excellent work.

If you understand acoustics and what human hearing is capable of hearing and what it isn't, it's not difficult to set up an exemplary low-cost (sub-$2000) system. Especially if you buy used and/or build your own speakers and acoustic treatments.

Some people love music.  Some people love gear...at any cost, low or high.

For some people, audio is just another way for them to experience (and express) their money. 

You can pretty easily tell who is who on these forums.

I concur with the three posters above ... Thanks...

But it will be interesting to read their more detailed experience with their relatively low cost system versus a more costlier part or more costlier system...

It is sure that acoustics knowledge teach us how to separate straw and grain in audio marketing... No need to many showroom visits if you had learned how to make your system- room better and even magical... Your ears will taught you so...

This thread is one of the rare claiming that less may be more ...If knowledge is acquired and creativity developed a bit ...

The more we learn the less upgrades we may need...
