My two channel set up. The mess is here, don’t be fooled, it’s just hidden behind the couch. So I’m a pretty budget conscious low to mid hifi guy. 47 now and 3 kids so there is that too.
My rule of thumb has been to never spend over a 1000 dollars on any pair of speakers or any one electronic. I broke that rule twice. I spent 1100 on my Vincent Monoblocks and 1600 on my Magnepan 3.6s that I drove to Owensboro KY and back to pick up on Super Bowl Sunday a few years back.
