If I had more money than I knew what to do with, I'd buy a pair of Genelec 8361A speakers

Everyone has that one thing they could probably afford now, but can't justify unless they had a shitload more cash in the bank. Near the top of that list for me is a pair of Genelec 8361A speakers. For $16,000 you get perfect frequency response at +/- 3dB from about 34Hz up to 18,000Hz. If perfect frequency response isn't enough for ya, they also include Genelec's industry leading room-correcting DSP and a built-in transparent DAC. Hook it up to a source with 24-bit 192KHz output, run the DSP config and you're getting the best sound possible using something like Apple Music or Tidal (which have pretty big libraries of 24-bit audio!). Audio Science Review calls the 8361A "the most perfectly executed speaker both objectively and subjectively" and reckons you can "buy a pair and you are done with your journey as an audiophile". Anyway, I bring this up because I saw a post on Reddit where some lucky bastard got a pair of 8361A speakers and I am jealous.
