What's your profession? Age?

I am a 28 yr old Computer Engineer for Walt Disney Feature Animation. I am just getting into this game, and stuggling with my first purchases. I have narrowed my speaker choice down the the JM Labs Cobalt line. I recently listened to them run from a reciever, and even with that, they sounded wonderful to me. Now if I can just pick some components...

I tend to reseach this stuff to death before I decide, but to me that is half the fun.

Cheers,
Z

I am in sales, selling to financial institutions. Age 45. My current system retails for $25K. Most of it was purchased slightly pre-owned for around 30-50% off. This does not include the $10K or so that is laying around and not being used.

I am 34, a hi-end product sales specialist/consultant wannabe. That would be my dream job but reality dictates that I am a purchaser of computer and electronic parts.

Retired - 48. Did thirty years in the USN.
I'm now an assistant football coach and spend the rest of my time golfing.

I work in the cirulation and classified department for our daily newspaper. I'm ##@%# yrs. old(can you tell I'm a female?) My system isn't finished yet, but so far I have spent about $8,000. I will probably have about $12-15,000 in it when done. It takes me forever to decide on a product to buy, so I'll probably be 100 yrs. old by the time I get everything bought and won't have any hearing left.
