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.

I've just updated my winter system as my Bose Ipod Docking Station has died. But I was able to replace it with this beauty for $30 CDN. I run it with Spotify. They gave me 4 months for free and $12 after that, with the ability to cancel any time. So it's ad free music all winter for $12. 😁 Plus, this baby has flashing LED lights when we're in the mood. I challenge anyone to undercut me on the cost of their system. 🤣
