My system is at or around 20k, give or take a few hundred, and sounds fabulous. This is of course calculated by counting everything, cables, stands, interconnects, power chords etc....if you want to count all the extra components put away in storage, then well over 20k 😁
Last Audition - Blown Away By A Lottery System
I went into a local B&M store and did a quick listen to an integrated and speaker pair around 6K. I was just chatting with the sales guy, and I said thanks and was going to walk through the rest of the listening rooms. He volunteered to take me to another room that wasn't in use.
This room was sparsely populated with two systems, as opposed to the other room that had a dozen speakers and several dozen pieces of electronics. He streamed a song that I heard on the other system. Without knowing exact models of equipment:
Moon player
Moon pre
Moon mono blocks
Focal Utopia
cables & IC unknown
The sales guy is watching my expression, which is disbelief, and then starts quoting the prices which totaled $380K.
That is the most expensive stereo I've ever heard, and was floored at the amount and quality of the sound - a dream system for sure. Kind of gives me an insight to what some of you discuss here, but couldn't relate myself.
I'm screwed! My budget only allows $20k, and that's probably what the cables in that system cost.
I bought a lottery ticket on the way home. LOL.
