Crap. The poll question, and posted question are different. Speakers do cost more, but my headphone system is now worth more than my speaker system as I gave it to my dad. I selected speakers, but should have chosen headphone.

This is a real toughie, my speaker system cost more than any one of my headphone systems but add them up and that might change...

My speaker rig cost more or less an equal amount of money to my headphone rig, although overall, apart from visceral bass performance, the headphone rig undoubtedly sounds better IMO, especially for music that lies outside my normal electronica.

you should definitely add them all up. I tend to think of my Beyer, Senn and Grado all as one big rollable setup

Headphones, but that's because I don't own speakers yet since I don't have a room for them. But when I do get speakers they'll be worth about 10 times more than my headphone setup and be a million times better.

My speaker system and my headphone system share the same source, cables and pre-amp. I'm sure if I had the money I could definately spend a lot more on a speaker rig than a headphone rig. CAN YOU SAY "NEARFIELD PIPEDREAMS"?

Heh, but that gets really scary, it's much better for my serenity (and sanity) to not think of that...

You are right, a head-fier should never do math.
