$100K system build - % breakdown of spend


I know there are several such breakdowns all over the web, but each different in one way or another. Thanks in advance for anyone willing to lend thoughts here.

Assuming $100K to build a system (indifferent between new/used) with equal time spent and enjoyment from streaming and vinyl (for now leaving out other digital and other analog), does the following ballpark seem reasonable? If you’d bump something up, what would you bump down?

Speakers - $30K

Subs - $5K

Amp(s) - $20K

Preamp - $10K

TT, cartridge, arm, phono preamp - $10K

DAC - $5K

Streamer - $5K

Cables, Interconnects, Power Cords, Power Cond/Regen - $10K

Isolation Products, room treatments and system rack(s) - $5K

 

Leaving out for now fuses, contact enhancers and the like. 
 

Thanks again for any thoughts.

If it was my 100k, I would start with a dedicated room.  It's by far the hardest thing to upgrade and will never be obsoleted.  It doesn't have to be away from the rest of the house.  However, ideally it's separate from your "TV" room.  If you have your wife's support (and are having the house built?), give her whatever it takes (exercise room? art studio? bedroom-size walk-in closet?)

As for the gear, I'm in the speakers first camp. Spend until you hurt on them.  The amp(s) have to play well with the speakers.  The digital market is advancing so rapidly that I'd suggest you spend more on the analog upgrade, figuring you'll upgrade the digital side multiple times before circling back around to analog.

Unless your new place has bad power, I wouldn't spend anywhere near 10k on cabling & power conditioning.
