Just as I am today, I'd be very concerned about durability. I want good sound, but I assume that I'll get used to whatever I have and waver between loving the sound and hearing nothing but problems. The end of the world would only make that part of it both worse and better. I just don't want any of it to break!
Inside:
preamp - McIntosh C52
amp - McIntosh MC611 (x2, or maybe just a 2-channel MC462)
turntable - Technics SL-1200G (and a whole crate full of cartriges)
CD player/transport - Yamaha CD-S2100 (or something from Marantz or Denon. I'm operating on the premise that these mass produced models are probably more reliable than something high-end and esoteric)
speakers - JBL K2 S9900
Outside:
preamp - SPL Director Mk2
amp - Crown XLi 3500
turntable - not outside
CD player/transport - Yamaha CD-S2100 (same as inside, probably even identical in case they need to be put together for parts)
speakers - Klipschorns in front of a really long wall
I know, I put the Khorns with the Crown and the JBL K2 inside. I had to give you all SOMETHING to complain about!
