If Money Were No Object... A Fantasy Question

First I would build a house with a large room dedicated as a music room - then I would build a system based on large Electrostats such as Sound labs - then I would obtain the components which best matched the Sound Labs and produced a very neutral tone. SOTA is a moving target - too ellusive for me - if any components happen to be SOTA thats fine.

few different rooms with systems optimized for certain music types like electrostatic system for mostly acoustic type music, dynamic system for rock and roll music.

Yup, I am with Mejames.

Tubes and Stats-High end CJ and Logans or Sound Labs-acoustic and signer-songwriter type stuff

Classic - Marantz receiver or McIntosh seps with big ole JBL's to relive part of my youth. Loud Zep and Stones rock

Refined/Show off- with higer priced spread to impress audio elite types. I might even play it once in awhile.

SET setup with efficient stuff like coincident speakers to compare with push pull and triode tube amps.

I'd put a bunch of money into a very good room - possibly custom built as part of a custom built house. Then I'd put a max of $150K or so into the gear and another hundred thousand into music.

I think pursuing SOTA is a mugs game, because preferences and synergy are at least as important as the gear itself. I'd want to have enough cash in reserve to try out stuff I thought might work, without worrying that I'd spent all my money and didn't get where I wanted to go.

That said, I know at least some of the gear that would end up in such a system: an Audio Note DAC5 Signature, a pair of Josh Stippich's amazing amps, and a Blowtorch.
