Poll: What % of your system investment is in your speakers?

[cshake]

In the living room, it's close to 40% speakers (5.1), 40% AVR, 20% TV. For the computer, it's 0% DAC so far (using motherboard integrated), 25% amp, 75% headphones (for the most expensive pair).

If you start factoring in CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, streaming subscriptions, the desktop computer, the NAS that runs the Plex server, etc, those numbers change drastically - but that's not fair because those would still exist even if I just used cheap earbuds on the computer and the TV built-in speakers.

It's kind of difficult for a few reasons. I'm a refugee from Audiokarma where used vintage is golden and used is the way to go. Everybody's system is great IF they like it! They live in the country of Subjectivistan where it's all cool man unless it's BPC! Notwithstanding assembling a good system on the cheap, used and clearance is the way to go. Also I have a 5.1 desktop system assembled out of home theater speakers and conventional speakers so these are estimated costs as part of the whole system.
