Truth be told, as I'm sure you could tell, it was a bit of a loaded question. While I can appreciate good sound when I hear it, my "money manager" doesn't see it like that. It's loaded because I'm already looking at these two:
Honestly, I don't know very much about true high-end audio beyond the mass market and that makes it a pretty scary endeavor. I'm not sure there are places around me to experience much of it and I don't trust word of mouth and online reviews enough to spend more than $2k. I guess I need to find some real home theater stores and see if it's really worth it to me. I have to admit, unless I'm moving up to a 7.1 system, I can't imagine how big a difference it can make...but maybe that's part of the problem, too much imagining and not enough experiencing.
