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.

Retail is appox $35K but due to the fact that I usually buy Demo models or get really good deals from dealers (i never have paid full retail even for brand new gear) I actually have paid only $15k.

My most expensive system cost $3,000, with the speakers accounting for half of that.

Retail: estimating $9,000
What I paid: $3,500

What is hard for me is that it's totally addicting and I just want to keep upgrading. Shoot, I usually buy something already knowing what the next upgrade will be. Since I started this craziness 8 months ago, I'm on my third amp, fifth pair of speakers, second c.d. player, fourth pair of speaker wires, third pair of interconnects in addition to a dac, and a pre amp.

I used to say video games are digital crack. I take that back now and would say video games are like digital weed and stereo equipment is more akin to digital crack. I'm looking in to an inpatient rehab, just I upgrade a few more things.
