What are your thoughts about moving up product line(s) within a Company?


It seems safe to say that moving from a company's $300 bookshelf speaker to its $3000 + bookshelf gets you improvements.  But do folks have examples or opinions on doing this within a company's product lines?  

This is certainly a topic open a discussion as opposed to answering question.

What do you know or think here?

I am lucky to have a best friend that sells and installs audiophile and videophile systems for happily wealthy.  That has allowed me to not only listen to some of the finest equipment out there, but also buy some amazing lightly used items,  I went through (up the line) some amazing Dahlquist speakers long ago. various Mac Pre Amps, Nak Decks, and buying Amps that were 'blessed' by Nelson Pass. So I am a Pass PreA and Amp guy.  I have been up the line with B&W speakers till my 802 D's and stopped. I have done the same with Bel Canto DACs till the 3.75 and stopped ( although the new Black intrigues the heck out of me ) ( Love my Wadia 521 DAC too ) .  I'm a Kimber Kable guy and have gone up the line with them too and never a bad result from Coax,to IC's to 8TC bi-wired speaker cables.. .  If anything I am loyal to certain brands and engineers because I have never been disappointed in their products or their service.  Live the dream and trust your favorites ( until they sell out to someone else ala Classe' , etc.  )
