How many of us are truly satisfied with their systems?

If someone has been satisfied for 10 or 20 years, I may start to believe him.

If an audiophile says "I recently introduced X in to my system and it's so wonderful I'm totally satisfied and I'm 'done.'"

Then this means nothing.

 How about If a persons system has been unchanged for four years, and that person says they are absolutely thrilled with the way things are. Does that mean anything?

Not really. Everybody says he’s absolutely thrilled with his system. Even your humble scribe.

Oh, plenty people here look for a little more from their amplification, something different in there speakers, etc. I do not really see folks by and large proclaim total satisfaction with their systems as so many are on a never ending quest. And in fact I know of one guy that always proclaims what he has as amazing however he rarely keeps anything more than a year. 

I was a tad dissatisified with one of my setups until last weekend.  Moved the speakers about 3 inches and bingo I'm all goo goo eyed again.
