How's that?
Really expensive systems that sounded great?
I often laugh at megabucks systems ($100K and above) I hear because so often they are just OK, or the presentation is so off in one dimension or another I can barely listen to them for long.
What I’d like to ask now is what megabucks systems have you heard which you felt actually were worth the asking price? I don’t mean incrementally better than your $20k system. I mean leaps and bounds. Anyone?

Lets try to stay wealth-positive here and stick to things we actually LIKED. 😁

I too had to spend about double for much of my stereo gear over the years. A new amp complimented with new earrings… |
