I finally purchased the whole set up(m22s, vp100 and QS8s) and now I'm in the middle of the after purchase blues. The shopping adrenalin has been as such a high level for so long that I'm now feeling a bit of a let down. I feel like I should still be shopping. I am trying to resist the temptation to buy something. Today I bought a wireless router when I didn't even need it. It was on clearance, so I couldn't resist. I think I caught some virus from an audiophile message board. SOMEBODY HELP ME!

May I also suggest a REALLY expensive receiver as well???? Take heart grasshopper - you have reached only the first level of HT. You have left yourself room for UPGRADES!!!!  Once you have recovered from your current malaise - TRADE UP.
What's in YOUR wallet?

Most likely your genes (and every man's on Earth) are telling you that the thrill of the hunt is more exciting than the ownership. Do a search on the words "satisficer" and "maximizer" on the message board to see what I mean.
Relax, you won't be happy with your next car, wife, computer, clothes, job, vacations, furniture, nor electronics either, so I guess you're doomed to perpetual misery.

i know the feeling littleb. i got a sub first, then waited 3 months and got the receiver.. then 1 more month and got the speakers. then last, a month later, the cd/dvd/sacd player. i stretched it out over a 6 month period, so i managed to exercise my shopping demons.
now, i am looking for a new cd/dvd rack, and a new record player.. the sub will be replaced sometime next year.
