The price of the materials depends on how long the runs are. The labor cost is usually somewhere around $50/hour, so if you don't have a complicated setup (eg. the lines don't require any weird snaking thru your house), it shouldn't be very expensive. I had 7 lines installed in my house, with one line having a very complex route from my basement to the family room on the first floor of my house (the other 6 were in my basement), and including the price of a sub-panel, the total cost was about $1400. In my old house, I had two lines installed...the line ran from my garage, thru the attic, to the other side of my house, and the total cost was $700. -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc. http://www.sonicspirits.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PhilNYC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30286 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
