    where we had some $ leftover

    • Emotiva 5x200w modular amp - $3000
    • Marantz pre pro - $3,199.00
    • Ascend ELX TOWER SINGLE - $2,649.00
    • Rythmik E15HP/HP2 15" Subwoofer - $1,599.00

    Prices taken from first hit I found. Total ~$10500

    I’m not judging (I acutally somewhat envy you), I am just saying that $10000 is more than some leftover money.

      Moved across country for a job. Super high market to one less crazy. Had to do stupid things to buy into the first market, recouped that money and reinvested it back into my retirement (where it belonged) when we moved back. Decided to have some fun as well. “Leftover” in terms of housing money is where that term slipped out from.

      It was insane $ for me ;) But it was something I wanted for almost 30 years and couldn’t afford. It’s insane what you can spend on stereo equipment. My wife and I both drove cars until they broke, 14 and 15 years, both over 350k miles. Some people buy sports cars - we chose a stereo ;)
