I'd take a trip to Europe. If I had any money left over, I'd go to Alaska.
Other things I would spend the money on possibly:
Yamaha V-Star motorcycle. It would be a nice down payment, and I would have it paid off in a year or two.
or
Nice new top of the line headphone system with a new source and amp for my headphones.
or
I could invest it and spend it later when it's worth a little more.
As amazing as the Oris sounds now with Lowther drivers, the AERmkI and BD2 are a full generation ahead of it...
...and the BD3 a generation ahead of that.
Look at it this way, a new pair of AER-BD3's cost less than one pair of Sony R10 headphones. I can live with that, considering that these are the "R10's" of dynamic speaker drivers.
As to the 'under $4K goal', I've obviously abandoned it. Having a budget Oris was lots of fun, but let's face it... significant untapped potential just sitting there. I forked out serious dough for the enclosures and such... so why not push them to the limit?
I figure if anyone would understand, it would be you, my esteemed music aficionados and peers.
I would pay off my debt. That way I'd actually have more money out of my paycheck to save and /or buy cool stuff in the future.
If I hypothetically was debt free....hmmm, I can think of so many different roads I could go down... Get myself a nice laptop and either a digital SLR or a really nice film SLR with a good lense complement, and then I'd take a trip across Europe.
Or I would upgrade my source and get a Max or an RKV (or heck, both!
).
Or it would serve as a nice down payment on a Steinway grand...
Then get a small aluminum boat with a 5 horse for places I can't take the glass boat. After all, 90% of the fish are in 10% of the water, and that's generally the least accesible 10%.
I am thinking of getting a source, amp and speakers for my upstairs office at home. Have not decided on the components yet. I will probably end up buying something in between the $1000 system discussed in another recent thread and the $4000 limit.
