best possible seperates combination of all time: source, amplification & speaker

[ODUODU]

I would be very intersted to know what all ye folks considers the best seperates combination possible of all time.

[Viagara]

I am sure that there will be many possible combinations, but as there are so many factors to consider I don't think you can with certainty say which the "best" combination would be

[dotVIBE]

impossible question,

i CAN say that right now I'd settle for a Black Widow pre-amp/mono-block combo running a pair of Vivid Audio Giya's. dream system, oh yeah!

[Stefan]

Rather state considered most desired?

[ODUODU]

If not possible for a whole system might I have your opinion on seperates components alone, not acting as a combined unit ie what is the best possible source components today; cd player; tape desk, dvd player, etc.

Black Widow pre-amp/mono-block combo running a pair of Vivid Audio Giya's.

This should be nice.

[oradba69]

This should be right up there with top end sources.

[oradba69]

As mentioned on the speaker side the Vivids will be on my listening list.
I also like the sound of the following makes and therefore will recommend a listen to there flagships:

and

Amplifier wise definitely Valve audio.(Numerous reasons).

This all being said I am drawn to the world of Horns and SET amplification.

Speakers would either be B&W 800D, Dynaudio evidence,  or Vivid's. Whatever...stop dreaming now!
