I toyed with hardware for a year or so but I don't have the time or inclination to get stuck into it. If I can't do what I want to do with the vast amount of software I now I own I should really consider playing golf instead....

No, I mean moving up from the HS80's will be difficult becuase they are great monitors at a relatively cheap price point. Focals, without doubt are stunning but they're also double the money, and if you've got it then it's worth it, but bear in mind you really want to get in to some serious room treatment to appreciate them so it's not just the cost of the monitors you have to factor in.

I'm the same, virtually no hardware, all in the box, hence why I feel that the one peice of kit we need to have in order are the monitors.
