My bike. I use it daily to get to work, to the super market, visiting friends. It keeps me healthy I do not need a car and I can drive wherever I want all the time. It cost me 500€.
My Bodom french press. I use it daily to quickly make 2-4 cups of coffee, it tastes fantastic, provides coffee and is high quality. 35€.
My Amplifier and Wharfedale speakers. I bought them 2 years ago for 500 €. All my life I had cheap active computer speakers or bluetooth boxes. Everytime I tune them up, it get's a little warmer in my tummy.
All 3 things are far away from high end, people spend the multiple on what I spent. Still they all make me super happy and I will watch and keep them until one of us dies.
What amp and Wharfedales do you have? I have my PC running through some Diamond 9.1's and a NAD C310 amp. It sounds pretty good. In the living room I have an Audiolab 6000A and Wharfedale Pacific Evo 40 floor standers. Those speakers could be on my list. Bought them for about £250 20 years ago and I think they're fantastic.
It's actually a receiver, a Yamaha R-S202 D, nothing special, but I wanted to have bluetooth and radio. The speakers are Diamond 12.0, a pretty small version that fits on my desk. I have my computer and my record player connected. As I am not buying on Amazon, the speakers were pretty hard to get (in black of course lol) at a reasonable price, I think it was about 250€.
That receiver looks very nice and those Diamonds are the updated higher end version of my 9.1's. I bet it sounds great. I have some foam under my speakers which helps control the bass.
