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

Throughout my HiFi journey, I have been amazed by relatively low cost components several times. My little Dragonfly and PSB headphones provided and unbelievable upgrade for computer listening, which I did at work. 
That was 500$ very well spent. 
Then I moved on to my A&K with Grado headphones, another big leap. $1700.

Now I have a dedicated listening room. After going to shows and every dealer in the area. I spent 14k. IMHO, I would have had to spend tens of thousands more to get significantly better sound. At the show that I attended, one of the standouts was a system with a HiFi Rose all in one with Piega bookshelf speakers. That system was just over 5k. With a good sub, In hindsight, that system may have been good enough for me. But I definitely love what I have. Everyone that hears it is flabbergasted and wants more. 
I am also well impressed with my little “The Fives” by Klipsch that I have in my living room. They fill a wide open space with clear and powerful sound. And that is just over Bluetooth or the TV’s ARC out. With a really good source and sub, I could see that little system being enough for a lot of people. 
Sit back and enjoy what you have. The smile on your face is all that matters. 

Restored Pioneer SX-1250, Denon DP-59L turntable, Denon DL-103R/Musikraft Lithium headshell, Magnepan 1.7i speakers, Anticables throughout.  Total investment about $6,500.  Completely satisfying to my 70 year old ears.

This thread is not about me even if i make remarks and thank those who gave their experience with relative low cost system...

If you read it  i ask others testimonies in their "similar"  audio journey and about their own experience of the their relative  S.Q. /low cost ratio... Then it is not about my low cost system...

Now you are not in the obligation to read my answers... Read others people posts here ... It is informative and enlightening precisely because it does not comes from me and is intended for beginners also...

Then any  innuendo about my posts count is just that : an innuendo ...

Thanks anyway for your "due respect"...😊

And instead of asking people to quit creating their  thread pass over their thread if you are not interested, i do it each day...... Is it not more  not only logical  but more meaningful  , i say that as an added benefit for your next posts about anyone else here creating a thread  ? 😊

But enough already about your low cost system. That horse has been beaten to death, and the word count is overwhelming.

Thanks chiadrum ... and jmarini2

This will surely help others in their journey... welcome to Audiogon

my best 😊

OP yes Iam amazed of my low cost used gear system.ELAc speakers b6, MIT S3 speakers cable, schiit preamp tube, Norh mono block $400 , Njoeb marantz cd players. Audioquest cobra ic.This system is purely musical and very involving.
