un-becoming an audiophile
@dadork the word rich wasn't about a number but about an attitude. Guess what? People who have money are the most charitable!  for one, I disagree with this sentence, I donate a much bigger percentage of my income than the most charitable ric... 
Is soundstage width a myth?
I always wondered why people don't just buy 4 speakers for an amp that would separate the vocals and instruments. Possibly a stupid idea, but similar to the purpose of the subs?

@vinylguy2016 I think there are two types: the high rollers with money no object and the hobbyists here. When the two mix (hobbyist ask a question, high rollers make costly suggestions/suggestions down a spending path or hobbyists comment on a "wh...

Good old days
we are all sitting on the curve of diminishing returns, in different spots. Think about what else you could do with the money, and what would make you happier,  You have a great system and you obviously know how to enjoy music with or without car... 
Integrated Amp Shopping Decisions
"your best bang for the buck" and "I have one for sale" sounds like a great deal because you know it firsthand.

Pro-ject vs Rega

it's pretty ironic when the admin removes your comment in which you say "they removed my comment". What are they so worried about? People finding out they remove comments?  :)  
Bose 901 VI flat?
@jwillox he just signed up. This is the place where B&O and Bose and Beat questions go to die (and nothing wrong with it, it's like asking the difference between breast and fly on swimswam)  
Used vs. new
"it’s a tricky situation since I have no way of listening to either one to see what I like better." you can buy and keep them for 30 or 60 days and then return them with full refund. once you narrow down what would match your space, amp, sources...
