Lottery Winner would buy what kind of Stereo Gear

"Why buy a stereo when you could travel the world listening to your favorite artists live?”

Some of my favorite artists: Sinatra, Miles, Holiday, Rubinstein...

"You can live in the past or explore new artists.”

Prog, “or”? Why do you regard them as mutually exclusive?

I’m curious; do you feel the same way about literature? Why read old books like “Moby Dick” or “To Kill a Mockingbird” when there are so many new books?

Rrog,
Firstly, I apologize for misspelling your username in my last post - darn carless of me.

"What would you do?"

I would seek to improve the musical experience in every way that it touches my life. I would certainly enjoy more live music and endeavor to discover new talents before they became large venue celebrities. I would also commit to building a music system that conveys music’s inner truths as I perceive them to be. I would expand my music library manyfold. Not just because of my passion for older music, but because of the influence that older music has on my appreciation for newer music. One always gains insight into something new, when it can be appreciated in the historical context of its evolutionary journey.

"I'd be too busy dating supermodels to worry about audio....”

I’d hire Rives or some other sound guru to calibrate my room using supermodels as acoustic treatments.
