If I had the money, I would probably get B&W Nautilus speakers, which sound right with 8 channels of about 350 wpc. To power these, I would choose the top Audio Research amps, along with at least a 1500 square foot room with about 16 foot ceilings, probably sloped up from the speakers.and a dedicated 3 ton A/C unit to keep the amps from baking me in the room. I do curently have an eight hundreds square foo room (a large portion of my house), with 9-14 foot ceilings, and it really opens up the sound, so why not go larger? Subs? I'll never know.
Tubes would be changed regularly, with the old ones rotating into other systems on my estate.
Of course, I would probably not use tubes, but WTF? It's a only a pipe dream, and with a pipe, who needs an $80,000 amp?
