Have I Hit The Point Of Diminishing Returns?

John - Thanks for that. I was just curious as to how much
better it could get versus cost. Perhaps I've got
"upgradeitis." However, to pay a significant amount
for a de minimis improvement or difference in sound, makes
little sense to me. It just may be time to get off the roller
coaster and focus on the music rather than the gear; being a
gear geek, that's not so easy.

We all have - long ago.

Here's a bug in the ear suggestion. Take it for what it's worth to you.

Grace Design M920 w/remote --- $2300
Neumann KH310 active monitors - $4450
Balanced cables of choice --- $ 500
------------------------------------
TOTAL $7250

You can use your tuner as before and use your CD as a transport. Mission accomplished. You will never look back.

+1 Doug Schroeder. Best of Luck

My listening room is nearly identical to yours and I recently tried something that made me sit up and say whoa.
I set my system in a diagonal configuration after reading this. The increase in soundstage depth alone was worth the effort. But honestly, as far as I can tell there were improvements in every sonic attribute of the system. And yes, my room has significant treatment going on.
If your system is movable you really should give it a try. I'm usually not much of a fanatic but I am a convert and am spreading the word.

Rlb61,
You've gotten two very different perspectives from Jmcgrogan2 and Doug Schroder. You specifically state that your system sounds "great". If it does truly sound that satisfying for you then John's comments are more applicable in your situation. It would make sense to avoid the High End merry go round and upgrade mentality. Expand your music library and continue to enjoy the great sound you've achieved. What is the goal or target if you do decide to upgrade from what's already great sound?
