How much would you say you have spent overall on audio equipment? Are you a hobbyist or more "pro"?

With my home theater setup I would say $5,000 but I am currently looking to add more furniture & decoration so it will end up being more later on. The audio items used in my living room for the television were free but they would have been pretty expensive if purchased outright.

Wow, that's quite a sum for a home theater setup so I guess this must be of exceptionally good quality. I'm not sure I have even surpassed the $1,000 mark. I also got a few free items in my household which are quite expensive in value.

Hi, I'm well past that ...but then I design equipment and always looking out for new ideas and normally building them. So it is hard to put a retail figure on it all, but I suspect that you would need to spend well past 10K to duplicate it. Probably double that. Rolling Eyes Now if you get into the cost of parts...my inventory is huge. I get kidded that I have more components than a Radio Shack store used to have. Many more. Smile

Good Listening

You know, I'm afraid to even contemplate how much I've spent over the years. If my partner knew I'd be in the dog house for the rest of my life. I'm not really a pro at this, that's why it ends up costing me so much more than it should.

I hear you. I think I must have spent in the region of $2,000 by now, and I'm still not completely happy with the system I've got, so I may be adding more stuff soon.

During the course of 36 years, I have probably dropped 5 grand on both audio equipment and the music to play on it.

Since I take music itself more seriously than the equipment I play it on, more was spent on music than equipment.

For me it's a little hard to keep track on the actual amount that I spend on electronic stuff because I like keeping up with the latest technology whenever I can so I'm constantly upgrading.
