Top quality Hi-Fi components help.

Knowledge required please.
What are the best components to make up a Hi-Fi system?
Age of the equipment is not of concern, so if they were made in the 1970's, or later it is not an issue. If they are 'commercial' equipment, so be it. Not looking for it to all be the same make (unlikely that a great speaker manufacturer will make the best turntable).
Unimportant if it is 100amps or 1000amps, 50 watts or 500watts (but bigger is better, apparently).
Cost not an issue, but a good value-for-money used system is what I am thinking about.
Prefer old tech rather than new.
Over to the PH experts.

This is where you think me a heathen. I want a better system for my workshop/playroom!
There is no way I will be spending £60k and I will seldom be sitting listening to it in the optimum position in the room. It is about 1750sqft in size with a high ceiling.
I think the starting point are larger speakers with bigger bass speakers. I want a turntable for the old vinyl records, cd player and I also want iphone/ipad connectivity.
I listen to classical, 1960's and 70's stuff and rock. I have no neighbours within 1/2 mile so it can be LOUD. I am not allowed loud in the house!
Image not important and neither is the ability to hear every last note or nuance as that will be at the moment I am bashing hell out of something!!

I will point back to my post of yesterday.
If I had a dedicated room to sit and listen to music it could double as a bedroom. If I sit doing nothing I tend to fall asleep, no matter how loud the noise around me is...
The comment of 'money no object' was probably misleading. I intend to buy second hand and am in no rush so I can wait for the right item.
Showing my age here.
In the early 1970's I used to attended many dances with some of the best local mobile discos which were fun and sounded good..............until we upped the scale and had the Radio 1 roadshow with DLT, TB, JW.
The difference in sound quality was astonishing especially as it was also louder.
That is what I want to achieve, in a less than ideal building.
