Lets keep the audience in perspective. Most of middle income America would think spending $2000 on a system is expensive and perhaps obsessive. We think spending $2000 on an amp to be a starter kit. If you are used to hearing a near state of the art system then you might not be satisfied with something that would make a young audiophile very happy, and a middle income American gaping open mouthed at what they are hearing, while you sit there and grumble about linearity or a perceived bass boom.

Yes, no doubt $50k would sound better. But which would bring the biggest amount of improvement. $2k to $10k or $10k to $50k?

Runnimg thru speaker options in my head -- going from a 1k speaker to a 5k+ speaker and from 5k+ to 25k+ -- both can (and should) be huge improvements. Hard to say which is a bigger amount.
