What percentage do you spend on each component?


I think I remember a similar thread here but I couldn't find it. Just curious to see how others have allocated funds toward their system. What percentage of your total system cost have you spent on each component (based on new prices).

Me:

Front End (CDP) 27%
Preamp 0% (None)
Amplification 40%
Speakers 24%
Cables 9%

It sounds like your system is a 2 channel deal. The percentages I am listing are for a theater/2 channel system (as if they can really be integrated, right.....)

Front End (Cal Audio DVD) 5.7%
Processor (Cal) 12.3%
Amp (Cal) 17.1%
Speakers (Aerial) 53.2%
Cables 6.4%
Conditioning 5.3%

Clearly there is a problem here.................

I never used a percentage to base a purchase on, rather just bought what I liked. Well, that & how much money I had.

Speakers---25%
Amp--------21%
CDP--------19% (includes $600.00 mod)
pre--------18%
cables-----16%
cassette---<1%
This happened completely by accident...no thought given upfront...

Turntable, Cart, Phono pre=22%
CD=6%
Preamp=12%
Amp=7%
Speakers=29%
Cables, PC's, Power Cond=25%
