[QUOTE="santoshlv426, post: 854621, member: 1941"] This is a bit of a nonsensical for good audio equipment. These cannot be compared to cars under any circumstances. From my personal experience, amp's, speakers especially sound better 3, 5 and 8 years after unboxing then when "out the box", so the purchaser is actually gaining more pleasure as the years go buy - unless one buys only to flip it after they're bored in which case one should not classify their purchase as a "Hi Fi" in the true sense, it's a toy then like buying a 2 seater sports car. I still can't comprehend the "Upgraditis" that afflicts the forumites. Why spend the cash and then 5 years "running in" the amp and speakers to perfection (like slow baking the perfect cake), only to change it and spend another 5 years running in the next set, during which time the sound it delivers is probably sub-par to it's predecessor at the latter peak - crazy [/QUOTE]
