My Digital Desigs 9912zs are pretty expensive...but my first set of 9910zs ran $5000 each...I think the newest series are about $3000 each now so at least they are dropping in price...My Critical MASS UL12's retail at $3000 each

Ironically, the most expensive audio items I've ever heard were malfunctioning the day I heard them. $250K list, and you can't sort out a hum in one of the monoblocks.

I figured for that price, you could fly the guy over from Japan who built them, treat him to 5 courses of sashimi and still come out ahead.

In terms of head units, the most expensive is the $1000 Pioneer PRS head unit... you can look it up,

Wrong, as posted earlier, the Clarion ADCS-1, V1 = $3500, V2 = $8500

V2 came with a lap top to set it up, V1 did not.

Speakers..?

With so many SQ competitions won with HAT gear, I won't consider anything more expensive than HAT Legatia speakers worth its price. If your 3-way front stage ends up costing more than $2000, that's certainly a rip off.

The Focal Be's mentioned earlier as well, cost more.
