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.

Lebenty leben dollars, just like Br'er Rabbit. Actually I am in total denial of the cost... don't know, don't wanna know, and thank god I can write off a bit for research in my industry...The people in my head made me do it....
Time to update my system retail. Now it totals close to $300000. My house cost $321000 new when I bought in 1990!
But don't tell to my wife ;-)
May be I sould sell some gear.

hmmmm... retail? Who pays retail? That's sacreligious, isn't it?

In any event, had retail been paid entirely, it works out to about $21K per channel... roughly. I get better mileage with the HT system as it borrows two speakers and the sub from the 2 ch system... wouldn't be fair to count 'em twice, huh? So around $1K+ per ch. X 4.1, including a 120 in. DIY screen for about $200-$300.

That's weird... I just spent $5K for a sub, 2 speakers, a power cord, a Wally world rack, DVD player and a new receiver. Still need to build the xcreen and add speaker wires & stands for the rears! Sheeesh. I'm certifiable. Just need the card.

I guess their right... the dollar doesn't go as far as it used to!

Perhaps I should have done home entertainement the Jenny Craig way.
