You'd think with all the improvements we hear about from one year to the next that the best audio system for a given price today would wipe the floor with the best audio system at the same inflation-adjusted price point from ten years ago.
I'm not so sure that's true. In fact, I think we'd find the difference subtle. Which is a reason to pause.
I only came back to this because my old system broke down. I did not find speakers at the equivalent price point that blew away my old Thiels. In fact I found quite a few that didn't hold a candle to them. As for amps - well the differences are subtle there even among current models. DACs have improved, I think.
