No question. I'll never own a system like that, but I sure could appreciate it. You could spend that much more and get much less than I heard last night.
The trick is to get the best sound for what you are willing to spend.
I went by Excel Audio today to pay for the records i picked up last night, and listened to what I previously thought was an excellent system:
Wilson Sabrina speakers,Luxman 900u amp, and C900 preamp, Clear Audio Concept turntable and Koetsu Blue cartridge.
This system, no slouch, sounded like I was sitting in the bleachers. Last night, front row, live performance.
Listening to the ALEXX system ruined me. I can't wait until I can forget what it sounded like so I can enjoy audio again.
Correction about the ALEXX system, it used the Master Innovation turntable, not the Statement.
