I love how you put worth into perspective.

I have other hobbies aside from home theater electronics but, like you, I get a lot of enjoyment out of watching movies and getting immersed in the sound and video. That is why I spend so much time and energy researching products and spending a lot of money on gear. Always looking for the next upgrade, or even a piece of gear I probably don't need but really want.

Speakers: Energy RC-70s, RC-LCR, RC-Rs and eD A2-300 x 2.
Receiver: Marantz 6006
