How much do you listen?


After reeading the "how much does it cost?" thread, I began to wonder about the amount of pleasure these systems provide. As far as quantity goes, how many hours a week would you say you are listening to music? With the level of investment in these systems, I guess I'm thinking REALLY listening, not just background music while you wander around the house, but sitting where you can appreciate that you have a 5 or 6 figure instead of a 3 figure system. Please reply in the subject line so it's easier to tabulate later. Thanks!

Listening time all depends on what may be going on, but I will typically listen 3-4 hours in the weekday evenings and 8-10 hours over the weekends, on average. Of course, this is not all "critical listening" time - it's "enjoy it" listening time, often with a book as companion late in the evenings.
12 hours of critical listening per week; with kids 7, 9, and 11 I'm busy much of the time. Jeff
I listen critically about 25 hours a week. I consider my sound system my finest mental relaxation. I threw out the TV years ago. I can easily justify the financial outlay considering the amount and quality of stress relief it provides
