How much does your system retail for?


$23,000 - $24,000 I estimate. (Two channel, this does not include TV, VCR, etc.)

Please, keep the exagerations to a minumum, do not count CD's, equipment you have bought and sold, is packed away that you don't use anymore, etc..

Put the total first so it shows up at the begining of your post.

This is just for fun and curiosity of the diversity on here, don't take it to seriously. Simply evaluate what the retail value of your system is.

Kubla, that's the first response to this thread that I can relate to. I refuse to add up what Ive spent (a lot less than most people it seems, but a lot more than any of my real-life friends or relatives would think rational). I resent every dollar I have to spend. I would be very happy if wire was wire, bits were bits, and watts were watts.
$16,300 and just getting started. I use the 20% rule. That means I tell my wife that I spent 20% of whatever it really cost me. Thank God she doesn't know my NT password to retrieve my Excel spreadsheet and doesn't know about this site.

My spreadsheet also indicates I have $21,550 (non-retail) left to spend to achieve what I'm looking for. But then again, like so many others, this number will forever be increasing.
