I downsized my $100k+ all Shindo rig to a pair of Kef LS50 Wireless II with matching KC-62 Sub. I'm not about to say it's better, (it's not) But running Roon directly into them it does blow the doors off most other systems I've heard at similar to double the price. None of which is important, what is important is that I now listen to it daily vs. having to find time to fire up and sit down to listen to the "big rig". Now I can sit and listen, have it in the background, crank it so I can hear it out on the deck, impress the neighbors etc...
Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)?
This is very subjective, and your opinion on your own systems/items is all that really counts.
From the beginning to now, these would fit that category for me: (in no order)
Original Large Advents
Dahlquist DQ-10
Conrad Johnson ART pre.
Original Monster interconnects and speaker wires.
Nakamichi SR-3a
AR Turntable
ADC XLM II
Audio Research LS-12
Magnepan 1.6
Magnepan 20
Wireworld Gold Eclipse III
Audio Technica Electret Condenser headphones
Magnum Dynalab Etude and 108 tuners
Magnum Dynalab Receiver (original)
And in those "early days" special pressings and imported Jazz albums.
There may be others I am forgetting, but these were very good items along my journey.
