How much does your system retail for?

Funny you should ask. Since I've been on the upgrade path lately I added it up the other day. I'm in at $22,000 retail for my main system (two channel). I still have some components that are 7 to 8 years old, so this has been done over time. Now I've got to add up the stuff that's hiding in the closet.

Im at $68,385.00 in 2 channel audio. Why do I look here for new stuff here 6 times a day?

Interesting that others keep a spreadsheet of their expenditures, too. Mine also has a list of the planned upgrades, wish list items, etc.

Retail price of my system is about $15K. The out of pocket cost has been less than $10K due to a few good deals on Audiogon and other places on the Internet.

As recently as Christmas, retail on my 2-channel system was just over $80,000, but as many of us do from time-to-time, I'm on a "value" kick right now, downsizing to get "almost as good" sound at a fraction of the cost. My system (retail) is now about $32,000, and I'm just as happy as I was before! I'm getting about as low as I'll go though, I'd like to downgrade my speakers still and sell some extra cables, then I'd probably be done. So about $25K is my target. The stock market is down you know!!

$8,500 for 2 channel audio and just a poor college student!
