The hunt is over

If I do ever get there which I and not saying I am or not saying I am not. I think to make such a bold statement would wake up the Gods of jinx and karma. Amps would blow capacitors. Speaker foam would rot, albums would warp. And ears would fill with wax. So be careful with you proclamation the Gods are listening to more than the music. 

Speaking of fishing, every time I see the word "bass" as it applies to audio, my head says "bass" as it applies to the fish.

Bass guitar, The double bass, bass clarinet, bass baritone

It’s all about fish in my head....then my head says: "recalculating."

@zavoto.

It would be informative as to the "whys" of your decision.

What coincides with your audio preferences?

Some people like a lot of bass and go fishing often.

I don’t think my end game system is here but I’m really enjoying what I have. My pocket book says it should be over lol. 

My wife would kick me out of the house if my system looked like this.  I think there are ways to hide the gear in a stereo cabinet and find speakers that aren't so huge.  I like the size of the new Revel Performa speakers. They are very nimble and they sound great on all types of music.  I also want to incorporate my system in a room where we entertain rather than confine myself to a specific room in the house.  This is better than living in the dog house.  How also do you convince a wife to spend this kind of money?
