What percentage do you spend on each component?


I think I remember a similar thread here but I couldn't find it. Just curious to see how others have allocated funds toward their system. What percentage of your total system cost have you spent on each component (based on new prices).

Me:

Front End (CDP) 27%
Preamp 0% (None)
Amplification 40%
Speakers 24%
Cables 9%

Based on price paid, here is what I have spent (percentagewise) on my 5 channel home theater:

Speakers 53.82%
Amps 7.14%
Speaker Cables 0.51%
Interconnects 1.62%
Processors 3.33%
A/V Sources 15.32%
Video (TV/Projector) 14.76%
Screens 1.43%
Power 2.06%

I didn't add in the really cheap interconnects, nor even the mid priced ones, as I don't remember which ones I am using and how much I paid, since I have a HUGE amount of interconnects.

I am heavy on the speakers, but it will probably stay heavy there unless I sell my IRSes, which isn't going to happen.
