New vs uses in your current setup

Mine is a pretty even mix.  I am joining all the world leaders and claiming victory in my personal war (for good sound) just like them with their actual war involving big expensive toys that also make sounds ("boom").  My "intelligence" is the best.  Prove me wrong!

Current rig is 80% new 20% used of the major components; tt, phono pre, preamp, power amps, speakers.

...nearly every thing I have, with a few exceptions....
A purpose-built 'puter, now pleading for Win 11 Pro (hate the junkware with the consumer versions).  But it's been around awhile.....
Some Behringer items...X-over, an 8 channel mixer/splitter for grins, one of the eq's ....the latter being matched by a 2nd used one...the 1st long in the tooth but still good to go..

At this juncture, I've a pair of new, in box, ESS large Heils' that I was gifted by a online friend (since deceased) who shared the passion for them.  They need to be mated with the pair I got used and had the elements replaced in.
I feel the need to do Something bordering on not sane with, but... still considering my options....

The only things I purchase new has been a pair of mics with a pair of mixers for same, a matching measuring mic for an existing, and 100' of 12 g. ofc speaker cables at a time...when the need exists....

The other new needs are for the 4 drivers I purport to apply into my Walsh mods...
....which watching me cut out the cones and surrounds from them would likely make a 'phile cringe....if not the 1st, definitely by the 4th. *L*

My SOTA is not the typical, nor do I strive for such.  It comes down to what I consider My version of it....Here, Now, and for my shortening future.

We chase the same rabbit in our own course, in our own speed....

..and that's Fine. 👍😎  J

63.2% used @zlone plus one ...

My most expensive items were carefully acquired from secondary markets!

All used, mostly refurbished.
