The system I've just bought isn't quite conforming to the "money no object" line, but as I'm about to recieve a large settlement from NME for a libel case against them, happily I have got several thousands of pounds I can spend.
Anyhow, I've opted for the Primare I30 amp with it's sister CD player, the CD31. These are paired with a couple of Monitor Audio GS10s. With the accompanying stands, this rounds out at a shade over £4000.
Yes, I could have spent more, but I'm also going the whole hog (well, several thousands of pounds worth of "hog" at least) on a decent home cinema set-up as well, but I'll just have to wait for the final cheque for that one...
So, not quite fitting the request, but hopefully of some use.
