Inheritance ($100K) with a caveat


So you inherit $100k but with the caveat all the monies be put into a two channel stereo system.
And can never sell.
What to do?
Analog? Digital? Both? Tube? Solid State? Cables? Room treatments? Build a stereo room?…

oregonpapa- I’d keep my current system and buy the new 2022 Corvette. Both make beautiful music.

Wait- that’s an option? 997.2 C4S!
@oregonpapa @millercarbon. 2 channel system!  Too many speakers/cylinders 
I.Do.Not.Want.To.Touch.That. *eww*

I would engage some Trumpian-style ’investment’ in an audio dedicated space that would have it’s tentacles of cable to every room in the home built around said audio space....
...which obviously requires the ’support technology’ of a kitchen, restroom or 2 1/2, a space or three to ’retire to’ which allow for the contemplation of what I’d been listening to Seriously....

...and to piss everyone off, have a D distribution amp to drive it all....

Miller, how do you know your proposed system will suit OP's room?
Or is it one size fits all in Millersville?
SO easy.  Have your dealer set up various current models from Magnepan IN YOUR ROOM and couple them to as much Audio Research amplification and pre-amplification as you can fit into your budget without neglecting the source stuff--reasonable turntable plus whatever else you use--CD, tape, etc.

Listen to your fav stuff until you find the pair of Maggies that best suits your room, and then LISTEN TO THE MUSIC and forget about the $$.

Cheers!
