Wthout going tooooooo far off into the deep end of the audio fantasy pool let's compare the equipment and systems of the people that post on this board.
Just using published retail prices.
Some of our posters have spent a small amount of money on their main speakers. Most of the main speakers are between $200 to $12K.
A pretty big range if I do say so myself.
Those speakers are hooked up to a receiver that typically costs betwen $100 and $5k.
Again, a pretty big range.
A few people have separates that cost (for the combined package) between $1k and $15k.
Of course, gotta have a DVD player, and those cost between $79 and $2K.
Now, not counting any additional speakers and associated equipment do some basic math...
From the low end $379 to the extreme $29,000.
I bet the typical system discussed on this board is about.... let me look into my crystal ball......
$1500 to $8000.
Damn, the speaker cables cost more than the typical system.
I wonder how wonderful those speaker cables got to be in order to be worth 1/3 of the cost of the most expensive system list above.
Anybody that buys those cables is past the wading stage, they have dived right into the deep end of the fantasy pool.
In case any of the buyers of those cables are interested, I can still be adopted and added to their will. If they don't want to adopt me, just turn your head for a few minutes and let borrow your check book for a weekend. I promise to bring back the checkbook cover.
