Just for the sheer scale and sumptuous looks.....oh and even through YT they don't sound too rubbish, would probably need the amps and other gubbins to go with em. £50,000 might not be enough.

I'm Dennis.
I wish I could understand the love of Audionote stuff.
I dislike the owner, more particularly his rude arrogant and probably neurotic wife, but even more cannot see, or more relevantly hear, what it is that so entrances people.
We're on the same page (as usual), Dennis. (High-end) AudioNote?
Vastly overpriced badge-fi, sold largely to impress superficial fanboys of bling, who wank over the dubious efficacy of boxes brim-full of 'boutique components', in the vain hope of being seen by others as 'discerning'...
That's especially true when you know extremely capable electronics designers who can build just as good equipmement, or better, for a fraction of the price [minus badge-snob value]!

Oh, and as for spending £50K on hi-fi equipment. I wouldn't dream of it now, simply because it isn't necessary if you know how to judiciously play the 'SPPV card'

OK, I know what the OP said. I'd buy a turntable of the Orbe type with appropriate tonearm and cart. I'd have the very best of what Glen Croft could produce, oh and a pair of speakers if I must. Then with the money I had left I would buy whisky. Probably made by Ardbeg.
