Illuminating answers, especially regarding cost percentages.
I wouldn’t have guessed speakers would so often cost that much less than the other components.
Retail on my system is a guesstimate $35-$45K but I paid less, a lot less.
Why couldn’t the OP look at our individual, listed systems and do the math himself?
The useful info for me would be what was actually paid vs retail cost..….no one here would lowball now, would they?
