I only look for something new if I feel my current setup is lacking in a way I can't live with. when I moved to the 170's it was because my B&W 602's were just not right with a lot of material.........to my ears.
When I went from a Marantz Digital-ready receiver to the Outlaw 1050 it was because I was not happy with the Marantz' music sound, and I wanted better bass management and dts.
The only area I feel the need to improve is my subwoofer. It does most things very well. I had the chance to hear a highly regarded sub and was impressed by the definition of the bass notes. Now I understand the term "accurate bass" and am determined to have it.
