Who's winning?

The divorce lawyers...

If all you've heard is the soundbar and it works for you, that's winning. How could any speakers, regardless of price, be winning if the listener isn't happy with them? But, chances are they won't be happy with anything as long as there is something more expensive out there. 

Yes I buy all my speakers used.i go pick them up myself so they don't get damaged.what a wounderful journey.just enjoy the hobby don't worry be happy .I think that's a song.used amps streamers spinners not the bike.enjoy the music and the hobby.

I think the winner is the guy who buys the 30k speaker used for 15k.

This. Depreciation is a bitch.

The argument could effectively be made that the guy with the sound bar is the clear winner.  Score one for the proverbial "happy idiot."
