HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH TO SPEND ON A SYSTEM? IF YOU GET THE SOUND DOES IT MATTER?


How much is too much. Does it matter as long as you get the sound that you seek. I thought I would never have an expensive system as I do now. When I started I would have never thought to put this much into audio. But I have and I’m happy with my sound. Thoughts?

I think it depends on your budget.  What can you afford without impacting what else you need money for.  The story of the guy that built a million $ system and having it go bad is a cautionary tale.  In my experience starting simple and lower budget and then upgrading one piece at a time as you can afford it is the way to go.  Also trusting your ears and buying equipment you can try and return if it doesn’t sound good in your system is important.  I love tweaking my system as part of this hobby so I’ll probably never stop.
