The very first comment that should come out of his mouth is buy used. You will always get higher end/better sounding gear for your money buying used.

I like your point of view here and I can see how it is logical and buying in the same price bracket usually works out well for a terrific system synergy.

In the middle of building my bedroom system.
Arcam SA10, includes ESS DAC, $800
Martin Logan dynamo 400, $399
Will be buying Paradigm 200B bookshelves, $1k a pair.... Made in Canada
That's where it ends for me for a good long while.

Were you referring only to two-channel systems as far as 1/3, 1/3, 1/3 budget or in general? I've been upgrading as funds allow and have everything I need (can afford?) right now, but eventually would like to upgrade my main speakers from bookshelf to floor-stand and get better surrounds, currently cheap satellites. I have a 7.2.4 system in a relatively small bedroom. My most recent purchases were to replace a broken turntable with a Rega P2 w/an AT-VM540ML cartridge - and added an amp - Tonewinner AD-8300 (to use my AVR, a Denon X4700, into a pseudo pre-pro). Currently I have, in addition to the aforementioned, a pair of RP-6000Miis, an RP504Cii, four RP-500SAs, 4 Polk RM10 satellites and 10" 60W sub, and a Klipsch 12", 300W sub (stacked on top of each other due to space considerations).

Got a question for you @Audio Arkitekts: I have a sound bar that doubles as a mic, but the green connector piece is totally a bust in keeping it functional, so I'm wondering how do I "repair/replace the green audio jack, with no skills or tools of my own...? (note: My father used to work custodial on BYU campus, & I have an older brother in Logan, UT who is learning to be a great electrician, although I live in Mid rural UT...) any pointers for me...?

In my experience you get what you pay for. There's over achiviers out there. Giant killers. Ps audio. Parasound. Primare.

If you haven't heard a 100k system you can't really judge it now can you. I have been trading Hi Fi long enough to know above certain thresholds hi fi gets to another level.
