Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater How much is your home theater worth?

I know that some people could blow this number away with large additions to their homes and so forth, so let's keep this just to equipment that you are currently using in your home theater. Amps, speakers, displays, even cables. Just leave out physical consstruction costs, seating, furnature (even racks), lighting control (we can all just turn off the lights), and so forth.

Here is my list.
Axiom M60 Fronts
Axiom VP150 Center
Axiom QS8 Surrounds
SVS 29-39Pci Sub
Pioneer 54TX Receiver
Sanyo Z3 Projector
Pannasonic S97 DVD player
Blue Jeans Component and HDMI Cables
Home Depot 14g Speaker Wire
Carada 104" Criterion Screen (ordered today)

Running total is right at $6500

I left off my touchscreen remote, equipment rack, full metal bracket (for the center speaker), and all of the costs with finishing that half of my basement.

My wife thinks that I've gone overboard, but I am sure that many people here have spent a lot more, and many people have spend a lot less.

Oh crap, I wish you hadn't asked that. By purchasing one piece at a time, I have been able to maintain the illusion that I only have $1000 or so invested in the system...

M2 mains + stands
VP100
QS8
PSB 6i
HK630
Pioneer 578
Cheapo 27" TV (saved big time here)

Maybe $4000 CDN...

I'm not counting the M60s 'cause they're my music system upstairs.

Though I doubt he'll respond, I can't WAIT to hear Craigsub's response to this question! He only has 4 theaters in his home.

I'm not even gonna respond myself. After all, I got most of my stuff free.

That means I don't have to include the rear 80s or the QS8s since they are in the solarium ? I have a number in mind that is relatively close, but will just let everyone take a guess, I try not to think about it much.

Even if your system is so ^%$*&^ big that you need three rooms to hold all the speakers you still have to count them all because they are all part of the same 7.1 array.

Sorry.

I know that makes the number pretty large but it sure seems like a great investment to me and to anyone who has heard it (with one regrettable exception ).

LG 52" DLP: $3000
Yamaha receiver: $500
Yamaha CD changer: $150
LG DVD player: $150
M40 (FO): $600
VP100 $300
QS4 x 3: $750
Velo sub: $550
Radio Shack cables/wires: $250
Total = $6250 CDN
(All prices approx. for easy adding!!)
Not included: 3 FMB brackets, stands, and batteries.

I'll play, but I can't remember what prices were before they went up a few months ago. I think M22s were $400. Does anyone remember what a pair of QS4s, a VP150 or an EP175 went for?

Front M60ti,
Centre VP150,
Surrounds QS8,
Subwoofer EP350
120’ of Axiom Bulk Speaker Wire
48" LG LCD TV
Harman Kardon AVR320 receiver
Sony dvd player
Interconnects $100 (guessing, it all was from various eBay sources, custom made sub cable and everything else "plain jane" blue AR)
Grand total Total $5,594CDN ( ...this includes a 15% sales tax paid on everthing except the sub.)

That equates to about $4,609 in US dollars.

not bad for what I consider a budget system.

For me..........


About 4 house payments.

nickbuol ... tell your bride a decent boat would be $40,000 plus $5000 per year in dock fees and maintenance. PLUS ... with home theater, there are NO bimbos hanging around.

She will love you for the sacrifice you made ...
