Are you Guys Rich or What!?

Honey, can you get the maid - I need a grape. Ah, that's the life, rich and sassy. NO! I'm far from rich, just an addict. I traded in the drugs of the '60s for musical nervana. I drive a ten year old car with 180,000 and it runs great. My clients although they spend $2-4 million dollars on there houses I design don't care what I drive, and my friends don't care either. I once tried to play rich, but after a major heart attack and two years of no income, food shelves and the humility I do what I want to do. I had a $45,000 car, was I rich? I had a nice house, was I rich? No, but others thought I was. Now I'm rich in my soul, live very simple and love my music. It's all about priorities, mine are far different than most peoples, but at least I have a common bond here at Audiogon.

Hey now! It just a matter of values, balance and priorities. Anyone can spend their money anyway they want, just don't tell me how to spend mine. It all relative, man! As a matter of fact, I want people to buy the best, spend the most and trade in often. It is part of the system that encourages engineers to push the limit and thus trickle down tech. I want to see what can be done with unlimited resources which thus has implication for other aspects, blah, blah, blah....... and of course I love that cheap used gear! Hey Axomoxa, was that "how many micro-dots or micro-buses." Well, I guess today it is more like micro brew. "What a long strange trip it will be!"

Ramstl...talk about upgrading the system! Just think what 100K worth of micro-dots would do for your system...vast improvment on the accutity of your hearing I bet. As a matter of fact I remember one night in my freinds appartment, hearing a $20 ghetto blaster make sounds(music)that my 5K system to this day has not been able to match! We were so excited about what was coming out of that blaster that it had me and 2 other freinds jumping up and down on the couch and doing cartwheels from the pure pleasure of the cassette tape that was playing. If I remember correctly we were laughing so hard we started crying. I guess it has a lot to do with your frame of mind! Hmmmm...that's kinda of interesting...imagine that, your frame of mind, affecting what your hearing and whether it sounds good or not? Doesn't sound too far outside the laws of phychology. I wonder if we all suffer from that a bit. I wonder if this could be related to up-graditis, that thing inside that tells us no matter how much we get or spend we still are not satisfied and thirst for more.

hey, sometimes some of us are actually trying to improve the sound of our systems, not yust spend money - my current speakers retailed for $3800 (tax/delivery not included), the ones i'm now wanting to buy retail for $2265, delivered.

Dud,what speakers are looking to buy?
