I enjoy my low cost system a ton but don't regret the money spent on my high cost one a bit.
I have less than a 1000 invested in the low cost one. It's a pair of Altec Valencia cabinets with JBL/Dynaudio insides, driven by a vintage Marantz receiver (2270,18 or 19 depending on the month).
I love it for what it is and sounds and as a bonus it makes me really appreciate the big system for what it is.
I do not think I would be happy with a sub 1000 Best Buy system though. What I have learned over the years is "how" to put together a system.
