Well sort of. Car guys in the states are Pickup Truck crazy.
The bigger the truck, the bigger your package, right. :p

well, allegedly.... ;)
 
Well if there is a worse way to spend money than audio, then it's definitively expensive cars and trucks :facepalm: . Carbon package that cost $15k, $7k set of wheels, $5k seat upgrade, and things like that...

As far as the package, right, the shot guy says to the tall guy the usual thing :rolleyes:.

You just have to spend it wisely for both, build muscle systems. Big Horsepower engines and Amp/Speaker size should be at the top of the list. ;)
YMMV
 
most package comparisons are based on ego and some combination of fantasy and BS factor. And most women worth having don't care that much...so all of that becomes a grandstanding act I won't participate in.

But with audio gear, there are the real numbers and then there is the setup. A well setup lesser system will trump the one with better specs every time because a good setup is imperative if you want the best out of what you have. Finding the sweet spot for your choice of equipment is the magic and that takes time to find. i refuse to work very hard at finding the best possible setup for what I have in my current living situation because I won't be here forever. Once I am back in my home, I'm gonna get anal about it. I have done some minimal tweaking where I currently live but its too much work to work too hard at it when I am going to be back home in six-ish months. I am seriously considering the C30 over the C40 just because it has better dacs and a bit more power and is a more cohesive set of offerings for rebuilding a home audio system. That said, I would go for a C40 for a secondary system all day long and never sweat the differences.
