Down-graded and happy?

I would like to hear from all those who have succesfully down-graded and are satisfied with the sound.
Since, I am still on this merry go around forever upgrading - help me get off this horse.

There was this post about how he down graded from Krell to Acurus amp, and he is satisfied - the sound is a little less liquid and transparent, but not by that much - and he can live with it.

If you have found your sonic-nirvanah, and have down-graded it, could you explain why (in terms of Hifi terms)?

Thanks, and I hope we all get there without breaking our bank account - keeping our loved ones happy as well.

I change gear a lot, just because it's fun to try different things. One thing is when I change it is not always an upgrade, sometimes quite the opposite. I don't call it a downgrade,(by definition I guess it would be) but a lower priced piece. Something that I have found to be true, is that you don't have to spend enormous amounts of money to achieve great sound.
Well thought out reasonably priced components that play music can give you just as much, if not more pleasure than the most expensive stuff.
So the answer is yes, you can downgrade and be quite happy.
