Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)

Are there other people so much amazed by a relatively low cost system , they consider that is not a stopgap but instead a minimally satisfying ectasy... Each day i am amazed by my speakers and headphone... Am i deaf? Am i ignorant of high end ? Be assured that i know better system with higher acoustic experience and more refined exist ...

My point is an experienced and felt minimal threshold of acoustic qualities and well done and well realized and well manifested acoustic factors exist for me and are at play, for the price invested; so much so , i consider any upgrade way less tempting and if possible would be more, way more , costlier to appear as a real upgrade in quality... For sure an upgrade of part at low cost unbeknowst to me is possible but i must live with what i have for now but i feel no frustration at all. 😊

Am i the only one deluded in this way or enlightened in this way ? Pick your choice of word.... 😎

I have always striven to assemble a system which is:

 

1) Outside the norm achieving unforeseen results

2) As pleasing to the ear as a system costing 10X

 

To me this is worthwhile goal. Spending endless sums to achieve

the next "high" is truly a fool's errand.

I have always felt the 90th percentile is a very good place to live life and the things you enjoy.

The last 10% can drive you crazy.

Low cost? Low as compared to what? I have what I think is an excellent low cost system. It only cost me $150K, less than a top Magico or Wilson loudspeaker.

You know how to read then it is written :

by a relatively low cost system

Now if you are Bill Gates you already know that  "relatively low cost" can be  1000, bucks or 5,000 bucks because it is an expression relating to the usual American income or average one  around 60,000 bucks...

From all that i deduce for evident reason that not knowing that you are not Bill Gates...😊

Have you ever compared your low cost system to higher end gear? It could be a case if ignorance is bliss. But if you enjoy your system that is all that matters!
