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.

Of course, it's perfectly possible to get good sound out of reasonably priced equipment. However, the sad truth is that it is always possible to do better if we are able and prepared to spend more. There is no limit other than the size of our bank balances. We can never reach the sweet spot. Fortunately, satisfaction comes from enjoying the music on whatever gear we have and not sweating over how much better it could be.

Some low cost systems can sound great, but I recently heard the Sonus Faber Suprema, $850,000 in a dedicated room and...Incredible ...

@everyone.  I didn’t post this to shame anyone.  Spend where you can on what you want.  I’m 22 years in and I have been blessed to have what I have. It brings me joy.  Just posted this to discuss.  Keep it positive and informative 

When I met Calvinj at axpona this year. Listening to their system and the songs selection is one of the best I’ve heard at axpona. Iam not surprised at all Calvinj will put this thread.
