When is your Hifi good enough?

... when it plays lots of music.

When I consistently hear new details and nuances in material I know well.  Still at that stage with my current rig, so consider myself "there" at this point in time.

For contrast, I recently did some auditions with TOTL Magicos and Wilsons driven by much more costly McIntosh and ARC/D'Agostino respectively.  Better than what I have?  Noticeably.  Useable in my current environment?  Hardly.

I'm satisfied & can concentrate on the music!

My hi-fi is good enough when .

- I return from a visit to my local hi-end stores, after listening to systems that can exceed of $300,000
-  drop some vinyl onto my TT and think - Hmmm - my system doesn't sound too shabby at all :-)

I seem to do that a lot :-)

Having said that - the last item to really peek my interest - a very nice pair of Avantgarde Duo's :-)

Alas - too big for my room - what a shame

Cheers

Willie that sounds like me too. 

When the speakers disappear and I get goosebumps. Joe
