How much does your system retail for?

Yikes! I'm glad I'm happy with my kit. I can't afford what most of you folks spend on this! I'm somewhat under median - something on the order of $16K for 2-channel, another $18K for HT and around $12K into the room. (That room figure is pretty blurry.) In this crowd that feels like a "budget" system, but I suspect that Jane Q Public doesn't agree...

Especially if you're married to Jane Q Public.....

I paid 5000 for mine and I'm not really sure that putting significantly more money into it would make it sound that much better. I have considered trying to make it sound better by additions but when I listen to it... I think why?

If I added it all up I'd probably climb up on the roof and jump on my head, and if my family found out I'd be forced to do it at gunpoint - I apply that question about the rig to what Sir Paul McCartney said - if you know how much your worth you aint worth much...stay cool....;)

$162,850.00 for my home theater system, with the majority ($94,000) in the 4 pairs of Infinity IRS (V, Beta x2, Gamma) speakers.

I thought I would add it up and see how my johnson, er, I mean system measured up to Albert Porter, Adsal and some of the other heavyweights. I figured I had the speakers, but not the high end amps, processors and source components. Uh, I am afraid to think of it with Krell, Classe and Levinson front end components now...

I hope my fiancee doesn't read this thread. Hmm, notice how close fiancee and finance are spelled...
