A 50/50 balance of expensive and affordable systems is the way to go. I admit I only buy equipment in the lower bracket of the equipment that Stereophile reviews, but that does not mean I don't need to know about higher-league products. It's good to read about expensive stuff, so I know how close my system's sound gets to "audio Nirvana" gear. At the same time, I want to see an equal number of reviews of stuff that I can actually afford, so I know my options. In my opinion, Stereophile currently reviews more expensive stuff than the "real-world" gear. I hope to see more of the latter in the future issues.
