One question that has always bothered me is why do so many otherwise intelligent people put so much faith in what others think? I've been blessed evidently with a mediocre ear. Since I have been satisfied with my same speakers & electronics for so long. I like what I like and don't need the reaasurance of someone else to justify keeping what I have. I'm not slamming those that have the disposable income to try new equipment. I would too maybe if I had the means to do so. If I did it would again be a one time purchase unless some new format comes out.
