I would have a live band fuck speakers. 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

If I had all the money in the world the world would be a pretty shit place to live.

I should have worded this question better. Especially in a tech forum which has relatively smart people

If you could afford any audio setup you wanted, what would it be.

Probably a bunch of old stuff. An old stack system with a 30+ band EQ like i had a few years ago.

I can't remember what i had in detail but it had some panasonic parts

Here's an example (yes i know it's a harman/kardon system)

I think I would redesign my sub and see if I can't make it a bit smaller (currently it's 1.2 x 0.9 x 0.5M) ,  maybe replace some of the room treatment with slightly thicker foam, Too many mids are bouncing around.

 

Install a soundproof wall just outside the theatre so the neighbors don't complain about the rumble.

Headphones? the best wireless money can buy. I have already ruined 2 wired sets by running over them with my chair.

Speakers? I don't know enough about 1k+ speakers to know. 

Headphone? I'd have HD800 + LCD x or LCD 3 with O2/dac. Add Alpha Dogs and HE-6, because when I tried them, I thought they were fun to play with. Add STAX009 because baller.

Might have to get an amp setup that allows for multiple headphones to play at the same time. For ABXing sessions which I just might do for fun. And for quickly changing headphones without having to flip a switch at all.

 

I actually like speakers too, so I wouldn't just randomly grab an expensive speaker either.

 

YMMV

All it's missing is a fullsize lp player on top^^ 

I dont understand what the manufacturers were thinking when they stopped making most of them. Fullsize lp is still in use today

Probably a pair of Burmester B80 w/ a S8 Sub. With an oriental makassar finish ofc.

If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself.

All of the money? I would create a company made of elite engineers to make the most perfect, balanced, beautifully made pair of headphones in the history of forever. Plus a nice $1M amp, and I'd be set. Well, naw, I'd need a set of $10M speakers, and a ridiculously amazing mic, just for kicks. And use the Shure Se846 for some giveaways on here.

Yeah because you will have enough power to drive the HE-6 with an O2... NOT! You will need around 6 Watt to drive those, which the O2 definitely does not supply, not even at high gain...

 

STAX SR009 are electrostatic, which means you will need an amp specific for that, with unlimited funds, and I would choose those I would probably go with something like the Blue Hawaii amplifier for those. That thing is a beast.

 

I would love to listen to the Sennheiser Orpheus some day, but if I had all the money in the world I would probably have multiple set ups for each their own use. Some headphone excel at some genres that others don't. Then there is the whole deal with synergy between the headphone and the amplifier, and most likely there would be an end to the madness.

 

Don't get me started on speaker setups, I would probably spend more money on room treatment or actually building the perfect listening room rather than on the sound equipment itself.

Hmmmmmm that's a tough one.  I love my LCD-2's to death, but I would most likely buy multiple different pairs of headphones + amps.

I've been eyeballing the DNA tube amps for awhile, gorgeous IMO.

 

I would definitely get a pair of LCD-3's + HD800 + LCD-XC, HE-6 and probably lots of lower-tier stuff with random sound signatures for funsies.

 

I would also buy a pair of LCD-2's to ship @ShearMe so I don't have to ship him mine so he can try them xD

 

I may venture into the SR-009 + blue hawaii SE, but not sure.
