Way over that. If I added up all my audio expenses in the last 45 years I would probably faint. One year alone, I spent a small fortune on PolyPhasors. Remembet them? Passive boxes between all the components and speakers. Supposed to make a big difference, with imaging and sound stage. Another year I designed a 4 way speaker system, Four amps, a Pioneer electronic crossover, Strathern midranges, Pyramid T1 tweeters, Dynaudio woofers etc Bedini, Bryston, Belles and A big BGW power amp for the subs. Sounded horrible, it replaced my Altec 19's and I replaced my design with a pair of Dahlquest DQ10's so I could still use the T1 ribbon tweeters. That was just some of my audio expenditures. It hasn't stopped.
