Flagship product to build around

While my current system sounds good to me I know it can be better.  I do believe that vinyl makes it easier to take the next step in sound reproduction but the hassle involved of cleaning, storing and just the limited play time of an album side  removes it from my consideration for this question.

I want to build my system around a flagship product.  Where would I start?  My listening area is large my musical preference is female vocalists and I prefer lower power SET amps and really efficient speakers.

OP asked for flagship product to build around:  

Luxman 509X.  65 lbs. of rakish Japanese amplification iron.  One can feed it anything of great quality for source and it will caress the signal passing it on completely intact.  

This integrated can well drive most any transducer on the planet.  And....it's gorgeous!  Audio crystal rarely matched, with its decidedly retro look, large room illuminating meters and solid Iowa-class battleship ruggedness.

My wife's system cobbled together until further refinement.  Presently fed by a Rega Apollo, Mojo Audio Mystique' 3 DAC and driving old Mordant-Short MS 20i Pearl Edition speaks.  Fun system, great lights, shiny.
