How close was your starting budget to the final bu


Hi Y'all,
Just thought this would be fun. My budgets are usually off by at least 30%-40%. The system I am planning now has grown and I am just in the planning stage. Originally looking at most $7k and I am afraid to start putting pencil to paper to get the current total! Yikes!

Off by at least 1 decimal place, but also includes 2-channel.

I have always "budgeted" (a VERY relative word) in relation to individual components as opposed to "system". Warning - this method can easily lead to "money-pit-itis", the more costly cousin of "audio nervosa" and for which there is no known cure.

People who know me also think I'm crazy for what I've put into my system, until they hear it. Then they think I'm only 1/2 crazy. My non-audiophile friends reluctantly admit my system is "better than Bose"; the audiophiles just smile....
