How I'd spend money given no limits
Unlimited...? I love what I currently have so I would go to mono blocks simply because I think they are cool.  
Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make!
I have had to wear hearing aids for over 15 years. I just bought my 3rd pair this year. The technology had really improved from my first set. I currently have a set by Starkey that are rechargeable, bluetooth, adjustable on my iPhone and I use the... 
Audiophile demographics?
My wife is not an audiophile but she enjoys most music except rap. She is not into the technical aspects of the hobby. I just got back into it in the last year after a 25 year hiatus. I recently bought a turntable and started purchasing some of th...
