General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

I don't think very many people on the Asylum have systems costing over 25k.

I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

For example my Audio/Video system:

Infinity Kappa 7 Reference floor standing speakers (original ones with 12 inch woofers) I got for half price $694.00 for the pair about 20 years ago when they were being discontinued.

Adcom GFA-255II 200 Watt per channel power amp (325 @ 4 ohms) for $640.00 as a floor sample from the Good Guys.

AMC tubed pre-amp for less than 1/2 price for $324.00 on eBay.

Yamaha DVD-S1700 SACD/DVD-Audio player was $450.00 I bought new at Wild West Electronics for full retail, it was an impulse buy. It also has the Terra Firma Lite Clock Mod which I got at no cost for reviewing it.

Sanyo 25-inch flat screen TV was $189.00 from Wal-Mart.

Monster Cable Power Line 2 speaker cable was $94.00 for 8-foot pair.

Various Monster interconnects retailed for about $50 per pair but I got them half price. 4 pairs so another $100.

That's a total of $2,761, a long, long ways from 25k.

Many people on the asylum have receivers and $100 CD players so perhaps maybe 1% of us have systems over 25k. In that case I would say they are a wealthy elite group IMHO.
