Ever Feel Guilty?

"Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction."
-Erich Fromm

"Greed is that which drives mankind to live beyond mere subsistence." - Davemcc

Still not feeling any guilt.

Never feel guilty, unless you are spending your grocery money and if that's the case you are eating way too good.

Guilt? Hmmmmmmm

Dead hookers in cheap hotel rooms......maybe.

Audio gear.....NEVER!!!!!!!









Yes I'm kidding folks, I only go to high falootin hotel rooms.

This thread is starting to make me feel guilty and I haven't spent any serious money on audio in a while.. hmmmm.... On an unrelated note, I really need Murray State to cover this weekend...

Nice setup, too bad you couldn't source some amplification w/o the added tariffs/duty/import fees.

I tend to assuage my guilt by DIY'ing.

Yeah, the duty thing really kills cross border shopping, it puts us Canadians in a bad situation because products such as the Emotiva amps are only avaliable from the U.S.. But on the other hand I feel good about buying the Paradigms because they are made right here in Canada.

I wasn't really beating myself up, just thought that maybe it should have been spent on something like paying down my truck loan or something like that.

Ahhhh..... who am I fooling, with 0% financing, GMAC can wait for their money!

Anyways guilt is gone, just can't wait to get back to Canada to start building the room and installing all my new stuff.

If you bought a GM product you shouldn't be worried about paying down the loan, you should be saving for repair bills.

I am in the process of buying all the gear I will need for my first dedicated home theater. I just dropped $7000 for some of the gear I wanted for my room.

Although this is stuff I have budgeted for, I do feel a bit guilty spending so much on home theater gear. Has anyone else felt guilty for buying AV gear?

Just in case anyone is curious, I bought an Emotiva XPA-5 & XPA-2 @ $999ea. (Includes duty, taxes, shipping to Canada etc.), 2x Paradigm Studio Reference 60 v.5 @ $1998pr., 2x Paradigm Studio Reference SA-35 (in walls) @ $999pr. & 2x Paradigm Studio Reference SA-ADP (in wall dipoles) @ $1998pr..

I am just curious to see if I am the only one who ever feels this way.

P.S. I would do it again in a heart beat .

I've been wondering how much it would cost for Emotiva products shipped to Canada. Those are quite reasonable prices, considering that taxes are included. Now you have me thinking! And, that's not a good thing! You bas***d!

I dont really feel guilty when I spend large amounts of money... rather I find myself having a problem knowing that all of that money is now gone haha

I really like rewarding hard work. These companies work their tail off to improve.
