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.

Rs422: great post.

I've got $900.00 total. 400.00 for the Luxman integrated I bought new in 1979, 100.00 for a phillips CD player I bought from a friend in graduate school and 400.00 for a pair of used Spica TC-60's. I heard a system with Thiel 2.4's, Ayre amp, pre and sacd player, and it didn't sound as good as my sub 1k system. I was surprised. Maybe I have a good room. Whatever the reason, my system sounds really good with classical.

In total..System is about $16k in equipment...Previous system was about twice that and it didn't sound half as good as my current system. Go figure...

$9,775..My problem is the polar opposite of most.My wife loves music.Also my 16 year old and 9 year old daughters.So the 9,000 system is in my wife aproved 2 channel room.Then she has her system in the living room,(more theaterish)and both girls have thier own.I spose this isn't a problem as it gives more reason for audio shopping.Being a recovering alcoholic,they look at it as a better sic addiction lol.

Ralphnoonan-I couldn't agree more, this hobby is at times a sick, very irrational, addiction. A hobby I have always tried to keep from mixing with my credit cards. However, it is something I hold dearly near my heart. With my two day old daughter now a part of our lives, I hope she can grow to appreciate music the way all of us addicts here on AG do, because of my system. : )
