HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH TO SPEND ON A SYSTEM? IF YOU GET THE SOUND DOES IT MATTER?
"People spend $50k on vehicles every day. No big deal." yes, exactly, that makes no sense either. But the price of eggs....?

ok, I dug one up (in the biggest loser category): I got arrested at the Queen's Budapest concert when I climbed a 20 foot wall to get inside the stadium. Not only I didn't see the Queen (how cool that would have been) but I was embarrassed to ash...

@livinon2wheels thanks but it's probably even worse than 50K, I think she would kick me out for a fraction of it. You are lucky to have a partner with empathy for this stuff

@unclewilbur that's what I thought too. Although I have a degree, I am dumb as a rock when it comes to plants. @immatthewj oh you had to show off. At least I made bad first impressions on zero celebrities

@unclewilbur I envy you tremendously. I am still waiting for my coffee with Paul McCartney.  A college classmate of mine had a coffee with Yoko Ono. As in - she bought a property, wanted to change the garden, looked for a landscape architect, hap...

@77jovian  And her voice....pretty limited range, pretty limited dynamics and color Limited? One of the best voices in history. Ask Rick Beato or the Charismatic Voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R8gAtbLDnM  
I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading?
when you get what you’re after, you’re bored. When you don’t get it, you’re frustrated so true. Maybe you are just normal @coralkong not crazy like some of us.

@immatthewj i have seen 20K speakers at the dealer, never heard them. The most expensive ones I have probably heard was 12K. And that's 10x the price of the speaker I have. So again, don't take me seriously :)

@immatthewj   I cannot even begin to imagine how good those must sound. Imagine that they sound about 12% better than 25K speakers

@unclewilbur thanks for your response, and sorry if I came across harsh. We all make mistakes, no worries. I am an ESL person, with a terrible accent so at least I try to spell

seriously, and respectfully. when it’s a post for her, about her, would it be hard to spell her name correctly? Nine characters...   And yes, the most amazing voice, ever. Not my #1 but in the top 10, rated for emotional connection.

I would ask my wife what a 50K hifi gear would get me, and I am pretty sure she would say "divorce"
