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.

Roughly 31K (2-channel, stereo) = Speakers, monoblocks, pre-amp, CD-player, turntable/arm/cartridge and cabling.
Yikes! I'm glad I'm happy with my kit. I can't afford what most of you folks spend on this! I'm somewhat under median - something on the order of $16K for 2-channel, another $18K for HT and around $12K into the room. (That room figure is pretty blurry.) In this crowd that feels like a "budget" system, but I suspect that Jane Q Public doesn't agree...
I paid 5000 for mine and I'm not really sure that putting significantly more money into it would make it sound that much better. I have considered trying to make it sound better by additions but when I listen to it... I think why?
If I added it all up I'd probably climb up on the roof and jump on my head, and if my family found out I'd be forced to do it at gunpoint - I apply that question about the rig to what Sir Paul McCartney said - if you know how much your worth you aint worth much...stay cool....;)
