I suspect you are feeling somewhat guilty at what you consider an extravagence. Don't. The money is spent for a good cause, to increase your enjoyment of music.
Your money is only wasted if you sell the gear now at a significant loss.
You might be able to enjoy a simpler, cheaper system and you might not, but why take the chance? Imagine your feelings if you sell your gear for a significant loss and then find yourself having to buy it back at a higher cost in the future.
So you spent $25k on gear, or maybe less. It is not clear from your post if you actually spent that or if that was the full retail cost of your gear. Presumably, a reference system like this will still sound good in 20 years, in which case you only spent about $100 or so a month, or $3 or $4 a day, and surely there are things you spend that kind of money for daily that you enjoy less than your stereo.
