Best System for Pink Floyd


Someone who I never expected might listen to Pink Floyd was praising Dark Side of the Moon recently.

It made me realize that I have been listening to it for over 30 years now, and I still get something out of it every time, and also trust and rely on Pink Floyd to test the resoltuion and imaging of my audio components.

Which made me wonder:

Imagine if the only music you would ever listen to again was Pink Floyd, what components and in particular, what speakers would you suggest?

It would be fascinating to hear how you like to listen to Pink Floyd, as well as an interesting litmus test for capable and dynamic systems.

As a long time fan of the "Floydsters" I have listened to them on many systems and always enjoyed it. Before I delve in to the dream system you suggest I would own for FLoyd music only, I must add the Maoman is right on que with the refernce to Porcupine Tree. I discovered them a few years back and I feel that PT picks up where PF leaves off. A continueum of the Floyd sound.
SO if I could afford it I would go with:
Wilson Sashas
McIntosh MC1201's
Audio Research REF5
Ayre C5xe-mp for CD/SACD
Linn LP12 with Ekos SE-Keel-Radikal and Urika
Lyra Olympos Cart
Cardas Clear IC's and Speaker Cable
That is about it, I know there is more expensive and better sound gear but these are components I have heard.
Oh and a fresh copy of Momentary Lapse of Reason to warm it all up.
