Okay - Hi-Fi suggestions for a Lottery multi-millionaire!!!!!!!!!!

[admin_exported]

So - if you were the lucky winner of last Friday's Euro-Millions £56 million, what form of hi-fi would you splash the cash on?!!!!!!

 

[gregvet]

HiFi would have to be some variation on Chord 76 DAC, Bryston amplification and KEF Reference speakers. Not sure axactly what configuration I would go for but I would be a very happy bunny!

Home cinema not so sure. Lots of mega high end possibilities!

 

[MattSPL]

A pair of these beauties

 

[AlmaataKZ]

Different systems in different rooms, naturally!

Brystons, Krells, Chords, MF...

Flagship speakers from KEF, Tannoy, B&W, Vandersteen, Rel Studio 3 ...

Valves!

Horns!

dream on...

 

[Don Guess]

I'd buy the following as a start...

Kondo - Ongaku or Gakuon II

Kondo M77

Living Voice VOX Olympian

DAC - Audionote Dac 5 Special

Turntable Avid Acutus/SME 5/Koetsu (not a big vinyl user!)

Transport - Esoteric..

etc etc..

I will buy Frank Harvey Hi-Fi and enjoy trying our different hi-fi's everyday!

I'd probably just get something simple, and a really big FO house to put it in.

 

[MattSPL]

One of my dreams is to build a huge house of at least 6-10,000sq ft.

And in the basement id build my own private night club full of PMC BB5 XBD's and some Krell master referance sub's for good measure

 

[chebby]

Oak veneered Harbeth P3ESR loudspeakers and an Accuphase E-560 class A integrated amp with two DAC-20 modules slotted in the back and a matching Accuphase Tuner.

This will be the 'transistor radio' for my oak panelled study/library/den.

 

[the record spot]

Doubt I'd go mad...some McIntosh kit at the most I think.

 

[MUSICRAFT]

An extremely long shot but i would try and get Marantz to build me CD-94, CDA-94, PM-94, CD-12/DA-12 and AX-1000.

Old is gold.

An all MBL onslaught and x 4 JL Fathoms.

I didn't know the Foreign Office had gone into the housebuilding business...

 

[fatboyslimfast]

It would be one of their old ones - they must upgrade as much as people on here, surely?

 

[AlmaataKZ]

set up permanent, free demo rooms. like a small hifi/hiend show. the kit to put for demo next suggested/voted on this forum

 

[Andrew Everard]

Someone was pointing out on the radio this morning is that £56m is exactly the value of Abbey Road studios...

Now that's the kind of big FO house I'm talking about.

Aren't all threads pointless in the big scheme of things?
