Chess, my illusions continue to be shattered. First, about a year ago I had $2,000 saved up for a pair of bookshelf speakers, then I try the $320 Axiom M22s from factory outlet and find out that they sound at least as good.

Now, I happen to have $8,000 around, so I'm about to run out and get that $8,000 Krell DVD player because I want a "high-end" picture, when I find that I can save about $7,800 by buying that "crappy" Panasonic. Wonder how many DVDs and CDs I can get for $7,800.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
