What is the current retail cost of your reference system?


It would be interesting to share this as I am not sure some of us understand how decisions are made within the framework of cost and resolution. Please avoid used prices as that muddys the water significantly. Also cabling costs would be revealing as well if willing to share.

About $18000 for mine with about $800 in cabling.

Again this is current retail. Virtually everything I own is used.

 

The question makes perfect sense as most folks own Sonos, Bose. Home theater, receivers. In that context discussions of cables and even speakers have little relevance.

Not trying to start a Cold War of spending . Or any sort of comparison contest. 

Some come here to upgrade or improve their sound so wouldn't it be helpful to understand the costs associated? A silver cable will not improve the sound of a $500 receiver, in fact it may hurt the sound. It is obvious to those immersed in it for years, not so much new folks testing the waters. 

Welcome to Audiogon. The average price to replace the main listening systems of our members is $30000? Just thought you would like to know.
