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!!

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. 
Choices...

I must say, after years of trading this, upgrading that, I'm pretty much "done" with purchasing new equipment.  I've got a system that has great synergy among the components.
