This is off the original topic (in terms of time too), but I like your style and would be interested in knowing, for curiousity's sake, where you would consider the upper end "sweet spot" is for floorspeakers, dacs and amps, if not by brand/model perhaps at least price range. There is just so much BS in the audio biz, (and the higher end you go the bigger the shovel it seems) that I find it sickening.
