Almost nothing in life is as good a value as hi fi, cars break down, houses cost a fortune while you live in them, almost everything else requires constant upgrades subscriptions and has to be replaced while an amp and a pair of speakers just work for decades if you dont abuse them

Thanks, and yes, im starting to see that it is essentially a 30 year investment, with the odd upgrade here and there.
I also did make the choice to get a receiver that allows bluetooth connection. ultimately i think that will help early on taking advantage of the speakers while i slowly build out a vinyl collection (as well as later).
