What is your hifi system worth ? (retail price, and NOT what you paid for)

[OzzieAudiophile]

Hello fellow audio-phreaks.

My other poll gave you the opportunity to express your passion to what kind(s) of
hifi systems you have set up in your home. Sorry I published ppl's choices, I will NOT do
that for this poll. You will be able to see the number result only, not who voted.

This one concentrates on how much pain, passion, dollars, you have paid in order to
take you to that journey you need to make. This is the TOTAL cost (retail price), of ALL
of the hifi systems in your home, as many as you actually have at home. Vote on what
your system(s) are worth shop retail price, NOT what you paid for.

Make sure you also add up all of your speaker cables, interconnects, speaker end plugs,
power surge protectors, UPSs, current regulator systems, sound dampeners, hifi/component
cabinets, LCD/Plasma, TVs, VCRs, BluRay players, HD boxes, DVR's, PVR's, surround
speakers, Subwoofers.

DO NOT add the value of your CD/DVD disc collections. I'm not interested in music media in
this poll.

Any set up over 5K, I'd be interested to know what it is, if it's in your profile, let me know,
to save space

This is NOT a contest, it's not a 'most expensive' wins. I'm purely curious as what it took
to make your listening experiences as pleasurable as possible.

My theory is you cannot put a number/price on audio happiness. However we do tend
to live in life, the same way as we journey through our audio listening experienced lives.
We upgrade once in a while, some more often than others. Technology demands some of
us to upgrade more often than we would of 10 years ago.

I'm willing to take a guess that the majority of folks would have a system worth about
5K. I would be interested to find how if that ends up being the case, or am I so totally
wrong ?

Any systems 10K or more, msg me personally. I want to understand which components
are your most expensive ones, why you made those choices, what would you also say
is the weakness in your system (if you have found any).

NOTE : If you found this poll a most useful "getting to know our other hifi breatherin"
excercise, your positive feedback is welcome.


Thankyou again.
