One of the first things I ask people who want advice about purchasing new audio equipment is "Where are you going to put it?" If the stuff is going into a really bad room and will be used mainly for background music, I tell them to buy cheap and simple. The room is everything. A few years ago, I listened to the million dollar audio system, demo'd by a well known high-end dealer, at AXPONA in really lousy room. I was expecting to be transported, but it just sounded a little better than OK, not bad, but nowhere near what it should. You are probably getting the best out of your setup and thus you are indeed a lucky audio-nut!
