"I'm thinking, maybe its time to get back to reality and listening to music for the sake of enjoying the music."

I thought this was supposed to be the reason why we spent $20K+ on a stereo system in the first place.

The stuff you are thinking about is really good equipment and for the most part might satisfy your new requirements for the long term. However you can upgrade if you like, when/if you can comfortably afford it from there to more expensive gear without changing your purpose of music for the sake of enjoying the music.

You can, or at least I could (I did at one time kindof), happily downgrade based on a change of purpose. However if you upgrade well based on that same purpose, downgrades are exactly that - downgrades and a sacrifice.

At least this is true for me. Having a completely enjoyable main system I decided why upgrade when a second system was possible. So I'm working on this second system hoping to get it to the same level as the first but for less money. I'm fairly well convince it's just not going to happen - eventually, in order to get as much musical satisfaction, I'm going to have to spend just about as much on the second system as the first.

Just my 2 cents.
