How much is your main home audio system worth?

[goodman]

<font color='#000000'>Here's my system:

Sharp XV-9000 DLP projector
Dalite screen, 96" wide, 1.3 gain
Salamander cabinets (2)
Denon AVR-5803
Sony DVP-775
Technics turntable
Sony VCR
Pioneer laser disc player
Mirage BPS-400 subwoofer
Axiom M-60s, VP-150, QS-8s
Monster bi-wire cable for fronts

In the near future, I intend to upgrade the dvd player, probably to a Denon DVD-5900 (waiting for Gene's review), and biamp the main speakers with multi-zone 2 amps in the AVR-5803). &nbsp;Down the road, I am thinking about upgrading my mains to Vandersteens, but I need to audition them first. &nbsp;Anyone have experience with Vandersteen speakers?</font>

<font color='#000000'>just upgraded to a totally new system:

Axiom M50Ti speaker mains($620)
Polk Audio subwoofer(ehhh..forget the model #, works ok though)$200
Anthem PVA 2 amplifier($699)
Anthem TLP 1 preamp($649)
Panasonic DVD F85K cd/dvd player.($125)

This time I made sure I got the most bang for the buck
and I'm totally happy with the sound. May replace the subwoofer with one from a more specialized subwoofer
company.</font>

<font color='#000000'>I think we ought to start a travelling review committee to check out all these systems first-hand.  I volunteer!  There are a lot of great components and clever combinations out there.  For my part:

Rotel 1065 AV Receiver
Denon 2200 Universal DVD-A, SACD player
B&W CDM-9NTs, SNTs and CNT
Velodyne DD-15 (brand new and less than 1/2 price on eBay!)
Sony 36" XBR HD-ready (thinking about an InFocus 5700)
10-yr-old Sony 5 disc changer (for longer-duration listening from other rooms)
10-yr-old Sony VCR and dual tape deck (they fill out my custom AV rack nicely)
Audioquest interconnects: G-Snake analog (9), YIQ-X component, VDM-XR digital (for future 7.1 and the variable crossover bass management on the Rotel vs. fixed at 80Hz on the Denon)
Avia HT disc and Radio Shack SPL meter  

I can't wait for my next home with a dedicated AV room.  The motorized screen, projector, dedicated seating, and tighter light/acoustics control will be fun, but I have no complaints currently.</font>
