Excellent.
I have just remembered, at one point my system cost more than I paid for my house, although not in the same time period, house bought 12 years ago, system in 2008 cost more than the purchase price of the house.
It just goes to show how crazy we can be with our music systems. No wonder other people think we are all mad. LOL
