Downgrading

I thought deriding another member's system was just not done.

You'd like to think so. But the OP has two systems listed, or did Tmsorosk not bother to notice? BTW, which one is at the "bottom of the food chain?"

Yeah your right , it was a crapy thing to say.

Perhaps he wasn't referring to the system !!!!

Downgrading how? As in, a trade off of quality of sound...or status of gear>?
The two are very different and are confused quite often.

I think a set of small KEF's, a decent old receiver and a planar3 setup might shock the hell out of many audiophiles out there.

(I mean really, when did you sit down and actually listen to a sub 3k system recently?)

Not expecting to be wowed can do an amazing thing.
It can make you focus on the music, which is the whole point, isn't it? I think many of us would do well to take an equipment break and get back to hearing the music.

To me, that would be a great UPGRADE!

I listen to many sub $3000 systems. There all nice enough but none have shocked the hell out of me.
