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 Wink

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.

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:

http://www.audiophysic.com/cardeas/index_e.html

and

http://www.dynaudio.com/eng/systems/lines/evidence/master.php

Amplifier wise definitely Valve audio.(Numerous reasons).

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

Based on looks alone (though the plinius/dynaudio combo I've heard sounded quite decent):
Avid Acutus Ref Chrome:

Chord Reference red cdp.

Plinius SA-Reference

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