which car is sitting in your listening room?


Hello all!

given the expense competent, high value, upper range performing, top flight, and no holds barred SOTA audio systems costs  lately, which car in terms of your ssystems  overall retail price  is waiting for you to rev its engine the next time you fire it up in your listening room?


Ford Escort, Toyota Corolla, Chrysler Mini Van, Camaro Z28, BMW M series, Dodge Viper,Tesla, ‘Vette, Lambo, McClaren, or Bugatti?


Or… ?


where-ever your audio system lands price wise, you choose the relative cost equivalent vehicle as it is now, and or which one you hope to eventually have on the ‘show room’ floor.


Enjoy.

What I actually paid for everything in my system:
2019 Toyota Camry, fully loaded

If I had paid full msrp for my system:
2019 BMW 330i with option 1

This really puts my spending in perspective, thanks! I have been into this hobby for around 20 years, so all in all it's not too bad.

I am guessing a Bentley Bentayga.  The only thing a Bentayga has over my system, in terms of what I need, is that it has cup holders.

What I eventually would want:
I’m totally happy with what I have now. I have a Camry and appreciate its reliablity. It is problem-free. I have friends with BMW’s and I appreciate the way they perform. So I guess you could say my system is a blend of the Camry and BMW, which is fine by me. There’s no need to spend more.

In terms of the actual acquisition, which is over a very LONG period of time, the analogy would have to be like Johnny Cash's "One Piece at a Time":  "Well its a '49, '50, '51. . ."
