Firstly I may add that I don't know diddly squat about audiophile equipment. Setup etc is not something I know a lot about. I follow instructions really well however.
I used to be quite happy with my Bose Acoustimass II system. I thought I had something good. Well that was until I met one of you types and truly heard what a great system sounds like. I was in bliss for several hours and then I came home to my Bose system. I was utterly crushed.
Like a heroin addict chasing the dragon I started the quest to get the best possible sound. I had no idea how expensive this hobby really is. I am by no means a wealthy person. Just to get to this point required sacrifices and lots of saving. Totally worth it!!
