The ultimate system? Cost no object


If you could pick, the best of amp, pre-amp, digital or analog, cables, speaker cables and speakers...combo that come's close to the real "thing".I listened, few years back in Vegas (CES)VAC, Spectral, Avalon, in Spectral room, at the "Golden Nugge" How anything, can be any better?

...because you said cost is no objective here goes....
do you mean a truly ROYAL music system?
Your listening room should be spacious and have good acoustics like the Radio City Music hall (maybe you could buy it out)
For entertainment purposes you should have the usual ....refreshment counters, multiple stages....since you are the subject ..you can might as well afford surround sound...with many stages surrounding you. If you do wish to view Motion Pictures you could opt for a separate theater or have a wall dedicated for the Mega Projector unless you wish that Princeton Graphics makes you a custom Plasma TV (about 160' x 90') With all the necessary acoustic and architectural modifications, you should have already spent about US$200 million by now. Here comes the fun part...the system
First the software (expensive)
Since cost is no objective....you should have your own orchestra (maybe 2 or 3 of them.) For the sake of variety your software should be diverse. so you should consider buying out some big rock bands, jazz bands etc...unless you decide to buy a recording label straight...(Virgin Records could be yours for only 100 billion dollars.)
I would also recommend buying / renting living quarters for orchestra members which could double as guest accomodation as well (another 30 million)
Musical instruments, amplifiers (if needed) and speakers should be another 1 billion odd (if you want the best of the best like....) continuous runs of 60 feet silver wire...
misc (staff for maintenance and cleaning...in house recording engineers and Music Conductors)...another 5 million
recliner bed/chair $1000
will you be satisfied??
heck no!! ..welcome to the evil world of materialism
that should do it....and if you can afford all this get me one too
lab 47 pitracer,kondo's converter,rockport turntable,insider cartridge,vac renaissance signature preamp and amps 140/140, kharma extended exquisite speakers with enigma cables,all ac cord are fim gold,and acoustic treatment, (syn.desig.ref.squared with master control center could be also one of my cable choice)
I already posted one above...this is another cool system

A pair of ATC 150's (internally powered), Sony SACD player, ATC preamp. Total cost ~45K (with good balanced connects). It's amazing how so few people ever heard of them or actually auditioned them yet. Todd AO studio uses them for a reason!
maybe genesis 1s for speakers. but amps and preamp i will stand by. it is hard to say what the best would be without hearing it in equal enviroments.i know most of you audio nuts if you all had unlimited cash to blow you and me included would be on a search across the world to hear the best ever. in the end we all would not be any happier with our systems because it never ends. but it sure is fun though. hell i drove 9 hours to orlando florida to hear the ml statements.
