Your greatest high end audio purchase!!!

My audiophile journey has extended to over 40 of adventurous sonic delight. Over the coarse of my over 40 year journey as an audiophile, like so my others, I cycled through a multitude of speakers, amps, cables, etc,. Now that I’m an old guy, I’ve pretty much settled on my "End-Game" audio system for the long haul, primarily because I simply love the way it sounds, and also because, at this juncture, I no longer have the will, nor do I have the desire to continue the crazy (but fun) merry-go-round of audio components in and out like I did in years past (my spouse and my wallet thank me). When I look back on all the high-speed audio gear that I’ve owned down through the years, and after giving it much insightful thought, I’ve come to the conclusion that, after everything was said and done, my beloved Revel Salon 2 speakers were my overall most pleasurable and greatest purchase of all. What was yours?

Mine wasn’t my endgame system but my first system a pair of Monitor Gold 200 and a Naim integrated amp.

My system now is similar in only I still believe an integrated is the way to go!

Job 225 amp. I don’t have very deep pockets, so I believe this is my endgame solid state. Rarely do I see used 225’s for sale.  Thanks Hifi shark!  Pontus II with OG firmware still installed.
