how much would you say a good set up cost

ok, we all have gear, but now days, what price do you think you have to spend to have a real good system. not over kill, just good equipment, good sound stage. all around mid to mid high. I'm saying at least 30-35 thousand gets you in that level. I was talking the other day with some friends and we never put a price on our gear. you always get this piece now then that later. but have you ever sat down and figured out just what you paid for your system. I was shocked when i did it.

hopefully guilt sets in when you're about to overspend. the actual amount may vary, but if 'music' really rules your life,and not equipment, the odds are you won't have to spend much at all. 'never spend too much on an amplifier'-quote from a large advent brochure

'the rest is fun and games'-Pubul57.....you are correct sir. one only has to attend 'one' equipment convention or show to figure out that most of what the companies are offering is an odd exotic cocktail which has no more bite than most of what you find in what the hobby deems as beer budget mid- fi.
