I sure hope both you and nordlead never ever complain about any money related issues in front of me.

Either of you are forgiven if you use them outside your homes (like if you are a DJ or something)

A quality sound system is an investment that you continue to use for 30+ years. A quality speaker will sound good for decades before it finally fails, so I have no problem investing in a system that costs $3k. In reality, the speakers I bought were on closeout because the company was moving on to the next model so I picked mine up for over $1k off normal retail with the full manufacturer guarantee and everything.

Oh, and what I bought is considered medium range quality. If you move to higher quality you can spend over $1.2k per main speaker, and over 2k for a sub-woofer.

This. If you buy quality speakers, they will do for a looong time. $3k isn't that much but it is a good start. :)

 

I have had my small system in my room for 6-7 years, and there is nothing wrong with the speakers that came with it... the whole lot was just under £100.
Ok so I have a small room, I think the wattage for the combined 2 speakers (zomg only 2!) is probably less than 30.

In the living room we have had a bigger system for about 10 years, speakers still fine, I believe it was about £200 when we got it, the only thing that went wrong is my dad nicked one of the speaker wires when putting in a new carpet, so it started cutting out, but we shortened the wire and it is fine again.
I believe they are about 60Watts each.... and it sounds good.

And you can't say I have bad ears, I went to see Star Trek at the cinema a couple of days ago, and I could hear they turned the cinema speakers up too loud as there was a buzz in the explosion sequences.
