i'm a 30 year old lawyer. my sytem retails for about $29k. through good deals on demos (my cd player), new (my speakers and interconnects) and used equipment (my amps and speaker cables), my cost is about $15k. develop an ear for the stuff and shop carefully and paitently.
What's your profession? Age?
Just thought after the "how much is your system worth" post that it would be nice to see what all these people do to get $80K systems, and perhaps how long it takes. I'm a 29-year old economist for the gov., just completeed my Ph.D. last month, and my system is at about $10K. Just a pup hoping to keep upgrading...
