Inner Ear Report : 4 systems with synergy.

I went by a newstand today and noticed The Inner Ear hifi mag had an article on 4 systems.
http://innerear.on.ca/backissues/vol16-3.html

The third least expensive system was roughly $11K and tittled "Budget Highend System" or something along those lines. The list of equipment included Exposure pre/amp combo, audio aero source among other things.

My question is for everybody to chime in on what you would build for a friend, family, yourself perhaps if you had to do it all over again. How much to spend on "true high end sound"? Can it be done cheaper? What would your speakers be? Let's assume the room is 15x11 and musical tastes range from Electronic, jazz, Rock, Alt rock, pop...

Buying new?

Fab Audio Stonehenge speakers ($4000)
Welborne Labs DRD300B amps ($2500)
Morrison ELAD preamp ($800)
Audio Note CDT One/II Transport ($2200)
Audio Note DAC 2.1x ($2775)
TG Audio HSR High Purity interconnect ($800)
TG Audio HSR Speaker Cable (6 foot) ($600)
4 TG Audio SLVR power cords ($2000)

For a grand total of around $15,500 you get a system that will run with the big dogs. And I'd guarantee both the synergy and the musicality.
