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.

About $15K or $30K if you include the offsetting jewelry purchases my wife decided were required with every purchase of audio gear. This came up as a point of discussion after I bought my second piece of gear about 10 years ago. What the hell, it's cheaper than a divorce!

My wife loves my system and encourages me to purchase upgrades whenever I please. (with the offsetting jewelry of course)

Right around the $25k mark for my 2 channel but will probably break the thirty mark when I settle on an amplifier.

It has taken me a while to get here, but I think I'm nearing completion on this rig. When I have a larger place I'd love to build a second system though focused around bang for the buck equipment.

$40k retail. Investment cost of used gear $7500. Cost to me $0. How is that? OPM.

$1,700- tried new Rotel/Paradigm stuff but sold it. my Marantz/klipsch/Rotel/Technics/Grado is old school and to me it sounds better.
