Clearly everybody on this forum loves good music that's been well reproduced by a great system. However, it has it's time & place; for me that's at home.

I love driving & like to think that I have good car control but frankly I don't care what I drive. We had a lovely BMW 325i before we sold it for a Rav4 (the 200m drive to our house isn't much more than a dirt track & has some serious elevation changes). There was a time 'between cars' when we used Mum's 12yr old Vectra which had no power, poor brakes & no grip, particularly in the wet, but I loved driving that too! We're just starting to think about replacing the Rav but are very unlikely to pay any extra for a premium system.

I use my iPhone for music but haven't bothered to upgrade the free 'phones as I don't need the last few % at all times.

We all know how the sound of our systems are affected by our rooms; just think about the tiny cabins in a car!
