If you could buy any system, regardless of price, what would it be?

After 49 years, I have a system that I fully enjoy... well almost fully. The magazines continue to review and feature components beyond the reach of most. It does give most of us the opportunity to dream. And it, somewhat, gives an idea of what might be possible in the stratosphere. It did get waaay carried away when I read about “the world’s most expensive speakers. A pair of what appeared to be two way solid 24 carat gold monitors for $5,000,000!!

That is a mean nasty question and only someone who is described with a word ending in 'path would ask it.  Just kidding, but I am sure every long term music lover here knows what I mean.  ElliotB has the right idea, buy music!  I would play LPs on the turntable of my microwave if the sound was as good as my main system.  Never lose sight of the fact that he only thing that really matters is the music.

I'd go for Genelec 1036A monitors, 1/4 inch Studer 2 track and all of Led Zep's master tapes.

I’m thinking Legacy Valor with internal amps for bass and Air Tight 3211’s for amps along with an Air Tight pre and phono. DAC to be determined. Artisan Fidelity table as long as the performance matches the looks and price tag. Whatever high end cart best paired with the best arm AF uses. Maybe that ultra high end Grado reviewers were raving about.

Or an Avant Garde ultimate horn system with bass bins and the same AT and AF gear.

Or the MBL system of course with MBL amps or an MBL/Air Tight combo if they can be bi-amped.

Add a Studer A820 1/4 inch with the meter bridge and a Technics RS 1500 both with custom veneered panels to match the speakers if applicable.
