Two Marantz 8Bs and Quad ESL-63s. I could pull that off with enough searching and would happily take the time to come in under $3,000.

Blockhead.
Actually, I would probably save it.

Go on an extended vacation till the money runs out. I haven't traveled nearly as much as I've wanted to and if that kind of cash comes my way I'm going to do something to fix that little problem.

A pair of these:

Yipes, those things cost $3500/pair?!
For me, can you say Weebl/Blue Hawaii and some Stax Omega2?
(actually, the cost of both together is almost exactly $4k)

I would buy a better source then a denon. A little too bright for me. I would save the rest for a decent sized apartment. Two bedroom if I could.

I second Eric's choice of the Blue Hawaii, Stax combo.
Has ZZZ started to commercially offer the Weebl, or does $4,000 just include the amp parts, and the headphone?

No, it would cost about $2000 in parts for me if I built one myself. I suspect and hope that ZZZ would charge at least that for labor, judging by the complexity of the project. (Zzz has said he'd be willing to take orders if anyone is interested) The Omega2s are about $2k from EIFL (as Kevin Gilmore states in the KGSS article) or can be had for $1800 from AudioCubes.

Cripes, Nick, showing your devotion to your horns, aren't you? What ever happened to building an entire system for $4,000?
