How much does your system retail for?

I saw a comment on a different thread relative to a Cello Suite that kind of struck a chord (pun intended)...

At what point does further investment cross that thin line into trophy hunting territory?

I can make my meager $6k stystem sound alot better, I'll admit. I don't believe, however, that a final price tag of over $100,000 is going to give me $94,000 worth of added enjoyment.

Heck, for $100k you could hire a Mariachi band to come by every weekend for a few years...sorry if this is a sour note for any of you...

My audio-only system comes in for a shade less than Albertporter's right channel. And I'd stack my whole system against his right channel anyday.

If you stack it against my right channel, it may topple over, crushing you. Be careful!

Yikes!!! Should have known you had a mono switch on your pre-amp!!!

This thread just made me pull all the receipts to figure how addicted to this hobby I have become. Seen some negative threads, but like any other hobby we spend the $$$ to strive for satisfaction, I say to each their own. Its only money and we can't take it with us when we go, so if it puts a smile on your face spend it. Retail for my system is $18,050, out of pocket I spent $10,200(did not include tv/vcr, are a bit old). Did lots of research so I do 2ch/HT on the same system with exceptional results. Another $10k out of pocket and system will be complete. Need seperate pre to get best out of my 2ch(looking to get bat vk30) and move the aerius i to rear and put cls up front. The setup now I smile every time I listen to 2ch or Ht. Always shopping for a bargain.
