How much does your system retail for?

$23,000 - $24,000 I estimate. (Two channel, this does not include TV, VCR, etc.)

Please, keep the exagerations to a minumum, do not count CD's, equipment you have bought and sold, is packed away that you don't use anymore, etc..

Put the total first so it shows up at the begining of your post.

This is just for fun and curiosity of the diversity on here, don't take it to seriously. Simply evaluate what the retail value of your system is.

Yeesh.... WE ARE SICK !!!! Reading all of this and figuring out just one of my systems really puts things into perspective. My "little" system in the computer room ended up at just over $18,000. With four more systems to go and two of them being WAY, WAY bigger, i DON'T even want to THINK about what i've spent. On top of this, i have spares of everything. Whoever started this thread should be "punished" for making us "see the light" : ) Can you imagine if our spouses fumbled across this thread ??? Most of us would be "neutered" ala Bobitt : ) Sean

$14,000.00 You know this could be the equivalent of a "scared straight" program for a newbie.

Whoa, I figured the median to about $10-15k. Mine is $5200, retail, soon to be around $7k with the addition of a turntable. I'm still just a college student though, so i can wear my audio insanity with pride.

I'm @~$30K for strictly 2-channel, but these reports surpise me too: I read one survey where only about 10% of rigs ran over $20K. Probably the bigger spenders have more of a tendency to report here?
