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.

A pointless question!....

Take for example my 30yr old B&W Matrix801's. Retail in 1990 they were $3500.  I bought them used in 1998 for $2200.  What does that mean in today's dollars? Who knows. I'd compare them with any speaker available today in the $3-6k range.

Same goes for my 20 year old Bryston amp.  Today's Bryson's are twice the price as mine. Over my 35 years in this "hobby?", I'd say my purchases between new & used have been about 50/50.  Now there's a worthwhile question to pose to the group. What's you percentage between New & Used gear?
