True stuff.
I sort of thought you were 'Big UP's yourself RE $20K HT system.

But then did the sums and found I'm likewise in expenditure at least, if not worse .

Old farts like me have been HiFi freaks for 35+ years, love HiFi /Surround , easy to drop several 'K' on a new amp, BIG K's dropped on new speakers last month [Harbeth SHL5+ ] worth every penny.
