I am a 24 year old law student/lawclerk with a $15K system. Keep in mind, I know of a 23 year old who works at a high end audio store and has a system where the speakers alone (5 of them) run $13K msrp. Lets not forget that store owners and their employees usually have fantastic sounding systems.
What's your profession? Age?
Just thought after the "how much is your system worth" post that it would be nice to see what all these people do to get $80K systems, and perhaps how long it takes. I'm a 29-year old economist for the gov., just completeed my Ph.D. last month, and my system is at about $10K. Just a pup hoping to keep upgrading...
