VISA actually pats me on the back every month and tells me how good I am at doing that Spiff

well, OK...there are a FEW exceptions.
Us NORMAL people can usually outspend any income. I make nearly three times what I made 5 years ago. I'm in more debt now than 5 years ago. Savings? What's that?

My wife and I have always agreed that education is one cost-no-object thing in our family. Our three daughters literally eat nearly 50% of our household income -- including school tuitions, sports activities, nanny salary, etc. etc...
But hey, if you can get cost-no-object AV gears (or whatever other hobbies), it will be pretty boring, right? What fascinates me is the process to shop and build what I regard as the best possible AV system within a highly limited budget.

Yep...I LOVE to stretch a buck as far as it can possibly go.
I got my M22's, M60's, VP150, and QS8's all from the Axiom outlet. Both my Rotel amps were used, as well as my Rotel processor. I even bought my Hsu sub when it was on sale.
I tried to find the products with the biggest bang for the buck at full retail, and then find them for less than that. Hahahaaha...I love being frugal.
