RE: "Bite off less, chew more thoroughly" is often a good plan.

When I listen to a new audio system, I look for two things: a frequency response that is neither tipped up in the treble or in the bass and palpable, three-dimensional images. At the 2010 and 2011 CASs, few systems managed both: the Audio Note Es, the Teresonic, the Vivid all priced at $15,000), and the Usher and Sonist (priced at $5,000). Only the Audio Note and Usher systems could produce thunderous bass, but, in truth, I did not miss that in the other speakers. All had enough extension in the bass and treble to satisfy me. All produced a detailed, musical sound that I could listen to for hours on end. The Sonist system was really cheap, even with the de Havilland SET amps. The Vivid system cost a bit more, but not much.
