Wilson Audio is beyond the point of diminishing returns when it comes to home theater. However there equipments looks pretty bad ass and not only functional, but also piece of art. I could never justify buying their speakers, I would gladly take them for free though.
I will have to stick with my Paradigm Studios for now and possibly Paradigm Signature or B&W Nautilus 800 series down the road, but that is going to be my cap for spending on speakers and even then, $5k per pair is kind of pricey for me.
However, if I did win the lotto or something, I would hunt down a pair of the B&W Nautilus, I am sure they sound great, but they would also be a cool conversation piece!
If you are buying Wilson Audio, I am not sure Bryston is exactly a true match to obscene amount of money for a amp. I consider Bryston obtainable in my home theater quest, $3k for a 2 channel amp (4B SST) that should last you a life time is really a drop in the bucket, especially with their 20 year warranty.
Maybe those Krell Mono-blocks that put out 350 watts and are something like $6,000. You however will have to buy a room for the amps alone...
