Re: It's time to open our eyes and close our wallets!

After a 20+ year span as an on-again-off-again audiophile, I can appreciate your position. I've probably been where you are now 3 or 4 times, but at one point several years ago I finally grasped that, no matter how hard I try, nor how much I spend, I will never duplicate, nor even come close to, the in-person performance. But-and this is a big BUT-with that realization came an understanding that a home system has never been intended (All the hype aside!) as a substitute for the real thing. Viewed in this way a system can quite satisfactorily complement and/or supplement your need for music between concerts. The question then becomes how much one decides to spend and the course you've apparently chosen, i.e., downsizing, is one possible avenue.

I'd be interested to know where you are on this a year from now.
