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.

Right around the $25k mark for my 2 channel but will probably break the thirty mark when I settle on an amplifier.

It has taken me a while to get here, but I think I'm nearing completion on this rig. When I have a larger place I'd love to build a second system though focused around bang for the buck equipment.

$1,700- tried new Rotel/Paradigm stuff but sold it. my Marantz/klipsch/Rotel/Technics/Grado is old school and to me it sounds better.

Based on MSRP...about 80K
(not including all the tweaks,etc.)

Frankly i've never equated the price of a piece with its sound quality. I go with what sounds good in my room and for my tastes. If it happens to be expensive,(one mans expensive..is another mans economical), I'll try to get it as long as my bills and mortgage are paid.
