Any truth to keeping the retail prices the same ?

........does it make sonic sense to purchase equipment that is all in or around the same price range???? So, your amp costs $5,000 your pre-amp $6,000 and your speakers were also $6,000 and your front end was $5,0000... you get the picture. Is there any truth that this could help with the overall synergy of the system ????? Why I ask I have seen $15,000 speakers here driven with a good intergrated amp, but the retail of the intergrated amp was about $4,000. I don't know as that just does not seem to make any sense. Your thoughts

"01-20-14: Raks
My $15,000 MSRP Wilson Duette speakers are driven by my Theta Intrepid 5 channel amp that sells new for $1,700 and my system never sounded better."

Theta amps are very underrated. Are you using more than 2 channels? I don't recall any Wilson speakers that have more than 1 set of binging posts.

Zd542... It makes me feel better to think the Theta Intrepid might be underrated. I do use more than 2 channels for movies once or twice a week but the rest of the time it's 2 channel stereo. The only thing I don't like about the Intrepid is you can't turn off the surround channels when you listen to 2 channel stereo like you can with the Theta Dreadnaught.
