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.

I heard an interesting talk on TED today about the price of happiness. My intention is not to negatively remark on anyone's choices but the title of this forum and the escalating costs of everything we "want" connected with the talk. If anyone would like to hear it the address is:
