I would be waaaay to guilty if I spent more than say.. $10,000 on any audio setup regardless of disposable income. Plus I think I might feel like I was being sold snake oil at a certain price point. But, I'm a bargain shopper, i.e. Cheap.

~$7,000. i am a small fry on this website.

i'm actually pretty shocked although i'm happy to report that each time the retail price of my system went up the improvement was dramatic. what's even worse is that now that i have what i would call a legitimate mid-fi system i know it's pretty far from what an even more expensive one could do.

yes, my friends jaws drop when i tell them its 7k. i know it could easily grow to double that in a few years when i get into my 30's.

Somewhere about $35,000 and increasing as fast as I can make it. Are we all crazy or what? Great sound though. I mean just great. And worth every penny.

Too much ,for my wife to know.But hey the other day a guy at work told me he had to get a line of credit OF 60k from the bank to pay of his 40K debt that resulted from GAMBLING in Las Vegas.
That's canadian funds but still.So for all of those with the big systems including myself feel good .
Long live high-end.
