How much does your system retail for?

I have speakers that retailed for GBP3,000, CD DVD player US$5,500, CD player $2000, pre power amp $1300.00, plus cables worth over $2000. The funny thing is that the speakers cost me $350, cd/dvd $175 and cd player $400.00, and the Jungson pre power combination outperforms items 3 or 4 times as dear. Lesson learned watch the ebay sites for bargains and go for what sounds the best. The only drawback is that your system would not be as new and items are not picked on only their merit within the system, but on bargains to be had. Saying that I listened to some modern expensive speakers that don't come up to mine, and I would have to fork out an extra $5000 to take a step back. The way they made stuff in the early eighties would take a lot of money to equal now, so you are gaining sonically by getting some good old gear

About $15,000.00 retail Gentlemen, When your wives do find out about your little habit you will need to call me immediately to help save your marriage! I own a jewelry store and can help get you out of trouble in no time! Albert, we should start with you!
