Nice setup. My wife thought I was nuts when I started. She couldn't tell the difference between a boombox and anything I bought. When she heard my Angstrom Obbligato floorstanders she said, "Don't ever sell those speakers." Things have evolved greatly since then, tube amps, upgraded cabling etc. When I bought a 50" Samsung DPL TV, she bought a puppy.

I may be cured for a while.
