Just wanted to rant about one of the only things I hate about this hobby and it's the upgrade bug. I love my speakers, love them. I put this system together patiently over about a year as funds allowed. It sounds fantastic to where I instinctively say at times"wow that sounds awesome" and jaw drops. But then there is that thought that creeps in of what would sound better and at what cost. I've got to learn to be happy with what I have and not worry about anything else. Easier said than done but I'm getting better at saying "boy I'd like that but nah". Most of us go through this in this hobby though right?

After 20 yrs don't you think it's about time!
Seriously, I was perfectly fine with my 20 yr system, but I was at a stage in life (survived the recession, kids grown, nearing empty nester) where I thought it was time to invest in my interest again.
Part of that process I was demoing many speakers...there are some really good speakers on the market, but I think there is a point of depreciating returns the higher up the ladder you go.
I remember sitting in a demo of B&W802d3...it's a great sounding speaker...but having just heard the 803d3 on the same equipment, same music, I didn't hear $5,000 difference...I think if you're running subs...get a speaker with the best mid/high performance and you probably will be content.
I can see myself upgrading the Salks that I've yet to hear if I went to 2.0 system...aside from that I hope I'm not looking at upgrading for a long time.
