So I'm to assume all the talented musicians still performing music would be gone...
OK, never mind the weight, but Steinway is now making a piano which can play back and/or record thousands of songs via an iPad and solenoids under the keys. You click on Horowitz or Glenn Gould, or Oscar Peterson, etc. I would buy a few great-sounding acoustic guitars, a Matchless DC-30 Amp and some PRS electrics. Along with a great guitar rack. Also a few outstanding keyboards.
The sound system would have to be matched to the room I place it in.
Rowland gear would be nice enough, with a musical digital front end.
The turntable would have to be fairly compact and easy to set up and use- like a VPI or a Linn. I've heard and enjoyed HUGE speakers, but I would rather get something smaller that still does 20-20K, and it would have to look aesthetically appealing as well.
But I would give all this up for a neighbor who could come visit and really play an instrument well and/or sing- Live.
