Curious .. What is the compared price of your tt vs spkrs

Ok people im curious  
what is the price range of you entire analogue set up vs your spkr s with cables .. I often wonder what a guys table set up is when he is running a set of wilsons , or the 25k tt guy ..
my tt setup is about 75-80%  of my spkrs with cable , but i have a sub I occasionally use lol add another $$ so with that probly 60 -70% 
thanks

My entire analog setup, including table/arm, cartridge and phono stage is about 100% compared to my speakers with speaker cables.

My calculations were based on MSRP prices.

Though I would not say that I subscribe to the Linn philosophy, I believe there is much more to a good audio system than just a pair of speakers.

I believe that ALL components matter.
The " a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link" mentality.

I feel a better comparison would be turntable + speed controller + tonearm + cartridge + phono stage compared to the speakers + amplifier.

If that were the case, my table/arm/cart, motor controller and phono stage ($13,140) would equal about 57% of the list price of my amplifier and speakers together ($22,880).

Quite a difference from the 100% I reported earlier, mostly because my amp is quite a bit more expensive than my speaker cables. Go figure.
