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

All I said was, "Someone who was certain they were satisfied might not be tempted to ask this question." Pretty benign statement. Easy to agree with. No one here is certain. You’re not certain. I’m not certain. I can admit that. The length of your reply speaks volumes.

The level of your own misreading speak volume: i am certain than i am happy acoustically yes...😊 I am certain that better experience than mine exist over my own acoustic ectasy yes..😂.But mine is enough for me...😎And some others feel the same and i am curious about their reasons and their systems ...I stated my own very precise reasons to be happy with what i have ...

Then read me with no projected suspicions about my thread intention ...Dont use innuendos... Insinuating that opening this thread suppose self doubts is false and projection of your part. Period. Others than you here claimed the same and you came after repeating this innuendos ... I answered ...Not only i had no doubts about what i said but i am full of pride...I make myself my own acoustic heaven at the best possible cost... I apologize for my excess pride for sure... I am guilty of that...😁

What i said since i am in Audiogon 8 years ago and is resumed in my virtual page title had never changed but was confirmed by all my experiments ... It is clear as water... ...

By the way i generally admire all your posts then i apologize to be so direct and straight in my answer to you ... 😊

In answer to the question, Yes!  I have always been proud of putting together good sounding systems for comparatively low $$$. I have rarely bought new equipment, kept current thru the audio press, but, most importantly, as a musician I know what instruments and singers sound like live. That has always been my benchmark. 

I will admit that my current system has cost more than most people would spend. But not too much more. I couldn’t afford this rig new. Musicians I’ve had in to hear it - jaws drop. 

I do like to hear other “fellow travelers’” systems.  Many are stunning. In the end, my ears are happy.  It’s fun to tweak the room and speaker positioning to find that little bit more.  Can’t do the “Full Mahgister” 😉 but still interesting. 

For sure i admire you and i believe you...

because i did the same in my own way...

Creativity and acoustics matter for happiness ... Anything else is budget limits and self doubts by ignorance and marketing conditioning ...

It is fun to have a joyful celebrating and explaining "why we are happy"  thread !

😋

After I had the opportunity to listen to an $800K system in an extremely well engineered listening environment, then came home and listened to my $60K system in my small well treated listening space, I was grinning from ear to ear. I have done well for my audio needs and desires. That trip was validation for me. 

This post will be informative to any beginners...Thanks to you

...

In fact i read the same kind of post 12 years ago when i was in desperation and frustration because i did not have the money to buy a high end costly system...

Then reading a similar posters saying the same things i decide to study basic acoustical,electrical and mechanical principles and ideas, and i begun experimenting with what i have as gear pieces , instead of dreaming about high end gear reviews and entereing in despair because i would never been able to affford it anyway,...

I discovered then what i must do slowly... One experiments at a time ...I succeeded as you did... For + or - the same reason...😊 Basic principle may varied but do not change...
