Systems over $100k

Often people don't look far enough as to what they may eventually obtain.

Indeed. 

@infection I try to never say never, but as I mentioned I'm aging out of another rebuild of system, and my planned upgrades and mods with streaming and vinyl setups means basics will likely never get changed.

I mod cars and motorcycles in a similar manner to my audio systems, the bikes and cars always come to endpoint, can't say the same about audio, at least to this  point. I guess the mere thought of starting again with new amps, pre's and speakers is too overwhelming, I'd feel too much at loose ends.

Yeah can be...

I bought my house because the living room had an ideal setup for a HT/stereo.  Does that count??
