What’s the Sweet Spot price point wise in your audio journey?

I ask the question because there are so much gear at vastly different price points.  My sweet spot is the 15-30k range. That’s where my speakers, amp, and Dac for the most part sets. There are good things below the prices but there is synergy and  price/performance when purchasing audio. For some folks it’s the 5-15 range. It just depends on what you budget is you can fund great stuff all over Audio. Thoughts! No negativity. Just real answers.

75% off to be honest.  I'm a sucker for sales.  I have golf clubs in my shed I never use.  I hate golf, but they were 75% off.

This can be a divisive topic.  I've read many comments that seem to look down on anyone who has spent a significant amount on their system.  Not sure why that bothers some people.  And what is significant?  One person is stretched to spend $20K, while someone  else may breeze past $200K without seeing that amount as excessive.  I would opine that buying used, or open box, allows you to accumulate a $75K system for $50K or less.  Secondly, I would suggest that at the $50K level, your system will be very good and additional spending will provide diminishing returns.  Yes the improvements will be there, but justifying the cost to benefit ratio can be difficult, in hindsight.  IMHO.
