Most expencive stereo ever

Just curious, has anyone ever sought out all the most expencive gear on the planet and gotten a price tag on what a system would cost?

Lets say it has to do 7.1 HT duty as well as 2 channel and vinyl, just to keep the total price astronomically high. I think it would be kinda fun to see what kind of price tag can be possible for a stereo system.

Im pretty sure the amps would be the Wavac Monoblocks for $350,000 a pair.

I know speakers can get up to a couple hundred thousand a pair, but im not sure which brands hold the Uber-high price gear. Ive seen cables for 10k, turntables for close to 100k.

So, what are the most expencive of the Uber-priced?

I dont think there are any amps more than 350k, so how about CD transport, DVD transport, DACS, PRE, Cabling, Projector, Screen, Turntable, Stands, tweaks, etc etc?

List the most expencive gear you have ever heard of that is still in production or avaiable to be produced.

So far we have the amplification,
Wavac Monoblocks, 350,000 a pair,

Total Amplification = $1,225,000.00 (+ $80k sales tax)

Lets see how insane this can get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uhh, there are some top-a-the-line Kharma speakys that'll set ya back close to a million or so, how's that for just one component ?
They'd probably sound great with some Tube Research Labs dual-mono amplification and a custom built Pluto Turntable up front.
Cables, well I'm sure there's some gold-filled and terminated ones available for say around 10K per meter.
Screw this, I'm going to Ebay with Bigkidz !!

Slappy, wanna go to Egypt ?
We could maybe help setup the rest of that Kharma 5.1 system with the two subs mentioned by Rives.
At least we might get to hear them *before* we're asked to stand outside in front of *the wall*
Ultraviolet, you found that thread I couldn't find !
