How much does your system retail for?

This thread was started by the Audiogon wives’ association? Rumor is they’re preparing Christmas lists for themselves and will use this information to extrapolate the new equation for their own shopping needs… hmm, where are my credit cards… :-o

Not counting three Bang & Olufsen systems sort-of hanging around the house I'm holding at about 30k for my 2 channel system... I am still amazed by the incredibly clean and absolutely crystal clear sound my Pipedreams display every time I listen...

Honestly, music is my sanity and restores my soul keeping peace with my mind...

around 70,000 all plinius 102s dual mono ballanced,one silver one black,plinius p8-center-m8 preamp,sa 100mk3 for surrounds all silver, transparent bi cables, interconnects. magnum 102 triode tuner w/remote,kora hermes dac,pioneer elite 64 hdmi ect... mirage om 6s ,10s ,mc2 ,bps400 .1 ,stereo bag end infrasubs 18 from plinius rcas ,classe sp300/most everything purchased new,nothing wrong with used but, like a good woman: i prefer being FIRST!!! chow... pictures soon

Around 30K. I can't believe I just typed that, but it is true. Two years ago when the salesmen asked me what I wanted to spend I said I could MAYBE stretch it up to $2500 for a system. Of course, what I have now was purchased for much, much less than retail, but it is still an absurd number. What is more absurd still is that I could happily take it up to 80K retail and probably still find a way to long for an upgrade.

The good news is that sanity is returning. I was in a store a few days back, and while greatly enjoying a $4000 system I starting to think about downgrading. I haven’t done it, but at least I am thinking rationally again.

$41,000.00 is my current theater investment.

Actual cost (some stuff bought new, some used) of roughly $22,000. Equipment only.
