If it works I'ld keep it it might be worth more than a half decent system.

But then you would be buying the best sound system.

I've seen an amp for sale for £50,000

I once visited a bloke who had that sort of system. He had also purchased a free-standing house so he wouldn't bother the neighbours. Basically, the house seemed built around a pair of man-sized speakers. For playing 'smashing pumpkins' for all I could gather

That's the thing.
If you are going to have a half million pound Hifi system, you need a room to use it in. If you used it in a loft conversion with sloping walls or a tiny room, you'd have awful acoustics with sounds bouncing all over the place.
You end up paying tonnes. You buy a great amp, you need to buy a great Cd player, you need to buy a great set of speakers, and then you need to buy quality interconnects too.

And then you end up with a low quality download of the tune, as you cant afford the cd.
