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.

I was wondering, has this thread been started so we can be blackmailed to keep this information from being revealed to our significant others?????
I'm at 25K now and will be adding about 10K to biamp and add more room treatment.
This is retail value and not what I actually spent. $90K for equipment starting from two separate AC lines for a Phono only source two-channel system through speakers. Another $15K is tied up in Line Level preamp and CD player in main system. $20K is in HT setup and $15K for multi-room system. Thank God for getting consulting/barter arrangements, deep discounts and buying used from fellow audiophiles. Like Metaphics I use a spreadsheet, but is intended for self-control and saner behavior (relative term) in dealing with the enhancement bug.
not including cabling or stands, i'm at 35k for my main system. but, as out-of-pocket costs are *only* 13k, i don't really feel so bad. and, of course, this has been a gradual ting - one of my current subwoofer amps was my main amp back in '85... ;~)
