Around 30K. I can't believe I just typed that, but it is true. Two years ago when the salesmen asked me what I wanted to spend I said I could MAYBE stretch it up to $2500 for a system. Of course, what I have now was purchased for much, much less than retail, but it is still an absurd number. What is more absurd still is that I could happily take it up to 80K retail and probably still find a way to long for an upgrade.

The good news is that sanity is returning. I was in a store a few days back, and while greatly enjoying a $4000 system I starting to think about downgrading. I haven’t done it, but at least I am thinking rationally again.

$41,000.00 is my current theater investment.

Actual cost (some stuff bought new, some used) of roughly $22,000. Equipment only.

As every year goes by, the cost of my system seems more reasonable.

By the time I'm 100 I bet I'll think it was free.
