Venere...the price of your system is irrelevant and you have nothing to feel bad about. We can all get enjoyment from any music-reproducing system as long as it connects you emotionally with the music and takes you on a ride and allows you to chillax and commune with the artist you are listening to. We have all had those experiences with an iPod/iPhone to megabuck systems and everything in between. Also there are many $7k systems that kick the ass of much more expensive ones...it's all in the matching of the speakers to the room and the gear to the speakers. So please don't sweat the dollars and get into a comparison mindset...believe me there's enough "keeping up with the Joneses" aspects in all our lives that you don't want that to invade your thinking with regards to your audio system...that will only ruin the enjoyment that I am sure you are getting from your rig

Agree! Agree! Agree!

Well said! Music enjoyment cannot be measured by dollars! Its every individual's perception, love and passion.

Nicely addressed. We are to here to do comparisons but appreciate each other's love for music and their setup!

CMLAK, your the man! Respect!
