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.

Most of my gear is Audio Note. Retail price is $63,000.00

My wife knows how much I spent on this system. She tells me often. She is off by $3,000.00 so she rounds it off in my favor at $60,000.00. Nice wife hay?
Around $25K not including the DVD transport. Sadly, that price is essentially a single disc CD player. Maybe it's getting time to rethink this hobby...
Mine adds up to about $45k. I have been involved in this hobby about 28 years- a little longer if I count the used 32w/ch Kenwood receiver I bought Sophmore year in college. I wish I had the money to put together a really good system. I wish I had invested my money in a 401k so I could retire someday. But then all my stock investments these days have appreciated less than my stereo system.

Truthfully, my sound system sounds better than ever, but in the old days there was a certain sweetness to pulling out the soldering iron with my buddies and making our own mods and upgrades with WonderCaps, wiring and connectors.
