An observation :
One factor that audiophile high end fanatic " the costlier the better", in their blind race to upgrades, forgot is that we are all of us someday because of retirement or age or simply as myself going in a smaller house, we then are all in the obligation to downsize our system and we want doing so with no downgrade in the S.Q.
The bad news is downsizing is inevitable for most of us...
The good news as i experienced it , it is possible without downgrading the sound quality...
Here some food for thought for those who think buying high end gear, instead of studying acoustics is the gist and the essence of audio experience :
It is a bit provocative but there is no thinking without disturbance in our mind set ...😁
