I just retired and decided to upgrade my system. After doing look/listen research, I first took my wife to see the new OLED TVs. That sold her on the new tv, all I had to do was I talk up the better sounds we would get from new speakers. A week later, divine intervention! My six year old Integra pre-pro had the audio side go DOA. After talking to my audio shop, they found me a McIntosh MX -121 at the factory, at a hose-out price. YEA! I have always wanted a Mac, so I the end my wife agreed to the whole system. Of course we also had to buy summer shoes, build new landscaping borders, and I am still paying back. LOL! It was worth it, is all I have to say. Good luck to all the married guys out there.
