If Money Were No Object... A Fantasy Question

1. Build a spiff room.

2. Try out lots of components in it/(build a great system).

3. Go to Bimhuis, Vortex, Tonic, Knitting Factory...
to get as much real musical opiate as possible.
(sorta like Buscis except i'd go to the shows instead
of having them come to me).

4. Build a good rock playback (2nd) system

It would be pretty easy to do 3 first, run out of money and go back to spending way too much time on this site

It would be a bunch of plain tickets all over the world to hunt the conserts of my favourite artists like David Sylvian, Laurie Anderson, King Crimson, Residents...
Than It would probably a studio that would probably bring to me some dividents plus again auditioning musicians live live live live live live......

I'd definitiely go with at least two rooms/systems. I think one of the reasons I buy and sell a lot of equipment is because of my varied musical tastes. I've found that there is no one single component that plays ALL music the best. They all seem to sacrifice dynamics for smoothness, or vice versa, to some extent. I'd love to have a SET tube monoblocks driving my Avantgarde speakers for my relaxing, smooth mostly vocal arrangements.
Feel like rocking? Go down the hall to the room with the big ass SS monoblocks driving large dynamic speakers.
Ahhhhh....what a life that would be....

Forget hunting for tickets of your favorite artists, for the money I would "hire" the artists to play for me personally at my place, with a different special someone with me of course to impress ;>)

When money is of no consequence and you want the best, the answer is obvious. If it isn't obvious, just ask Dr Amar Bose what he would buy : ) Sean
