Acoustical satisfaction exist at ANY PRICE ... Minimal acoustic satisfaction and also optimal and very high acoustic satisfaction ...

And end game SOUND system , independantly of price, is a system able to translate MUSIC in a way we forgot sound qualities or their lacks...

People with money to throw out of the windows, or people with no clue in acoustics , or people who listen the sounds of the changing gear on 10 audiophile albums, or people obsessive compulsive with a perfectionism bent which is abnormal, or people fragile and susceptible to be influenced a lot by marketing publicity and reviewers , all those people out of desesperation often or often by their expanse habits buy upgrades on a monthly schedule like dogs pursuing their tails...

Other like me , once the search for synergy between components is done , when they have it, their hobby is not expanse of money in upgrade because the higher cost is supposed to be better , no, their hobby is learnings and experiments at low cost if possible and learnings how to listen music with acoustic and learning how to listen acoustic with music...

I am happy thanks to what i learned not only and mainly from what i bought ...I am done because music fill my life and in spite of his limitations (speakers) i dont felt any defects on my system now ...

My hobby is music now and i begin to think that many their hobby is expanse and upgrades with no clue about the way to embed anything rightfully so that the system could be transformed as any system MUST BE ...

Many audiophiles pay, plug and play then pay for an upgrade..I study, debug and dont pay, my upgrade is learning how to create better control over the system at low cost... 😁 It was a success ...

I have nothing against people able to afford very costly system , i am not OK with the necessary claim that the higher the price tag the better it is... It is false and not only that, a frequent error is upgrading BEFORE learning how to embed a system in his 3 working dimensions... My post is for the benefit of beginners or low budget audiophiles ...
