Yea Barry. That is the most easy to understand explanation. I knew there was a simpler answer to a complex question. Just as the others, it's not definitive, but a great illustration just the same.
When there are more reasons NOT to buy than TO buy.

Meaning spending more money may yield improvements but there are downsides which outweigh the improvements.
For example, a bigger amp would have more power but sound quality would be worse due to extra gain stages or transistors/ tubes used to achieve the higher power ratings.
When you no longer enjoy listening to music because your system is way too revealing of recording flaws.
