I bought my living room speakers used as well. The guy who bought them new returned them after a week to get the next model up. And the kicker is he was using $2400 bookshelf speakers as rears in his home theatre.

The old adage applies: Music lovers use their equipment to listen to music; audiophiles use music to listen to their equipment.
I've never heard of this but it makes sense to me. Extreme Hifi can get exhausting, so I wondered what some of those guys were enjoying.

I can hear many of the differences, but even then, sometimes I like enjoying the music by "zooming out" and just listen generally vs have insane detail meaning I am "zoomed in" and must examine constantly.
