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

@calvinj what are you showing at axpona, what company/manufacturer are you with?

@ckr1969 
I’m with Infigo Audio.  We will be showing with Final speakers. Come see us. We also sell cables and I allow free no cost demos for people to try. Come check us out. We will have our Class A Method 3  mono blocks with our World Class Method 4 dac and our new Streamer. 

@calvinj cool, will do.  we have 2 rooms there this year as well

My main system is now a mono system with a CD and a streamer and a few spare tubes (a banker box full, LOL). I can't seen to put a system together for less than $6000 lately. In stereo, closer to $13,000. That is with a lot of experience and careful shopping. That's close to my rock bottom, Could easily spend double that but would be pretty far up the point of diminishing returns. One caveat, I don't play loud so that makes it cheaper.
