The two stages of audiophilia

sgreg1,
"Their only hope is that they come full circle and rediscover the love of music"

I think you may be painting with a rather large brush here.

Personally, I've never lost my love of music (or stopped purchasing it), through tweeks or equipment changes. I would go as far as to say my love of music has increased with system (including room) improvements. 

Stage 4..?

mostly we listen to the sound ,sound of music which sounds good

Working towards Sit back, listen to MUSIC and enjoy your system but still trying new speakers that seem to be a good fit. I've downsized the amp while still retaining sufficient quality for low to moderate listening levels...so downsized the listening levels as well.
So, a small Keces e40 class ab amp and I mean small, a Topping D70s dac and now looking for smaller speakers that don't fall too far off from what I have now...hardest part to replace btw. 

Stage 2 is the Honeymoon after finding Miss Bitchin'.

Stage 3 is.... well its after the honeymoon and when maybe a wandering eye catches hold of something you wish you had in stage 1.

Temptation is the root of all evil......
