Sums it up nicely
As in all other electronics there are many reasonable good value alternatives to the highest priced "state of the art" type equipment, that certainly can be as good as gets, but also can carry the snobbery for the mere sake of ownership and 'Look what I have" mentality.
Back when I was selling Hi Fi I still could only afford the reasonable alternatives like NAD integrated amp and the smaller Magna Pan spk's. Thorens turntable, and Nak 1000 cassette deck.
Nowadays I have my studio system with Avid Omni interface and converters and Amphion Amp 100 and One 18 monitors.
And I have a home theater type system with and NAD T747 receiver and SVS 7.1 surround speaker system.
