I'd get a bespoke custom built listening room: shape, floors, walls, ceiling, etc.
Move all my gear to the new room, set it up and enjoy!

I would argue that a dedicated and optimized listening room is far more important than components with excessive "bling". Good components in a great room will sound far superior to million-dollar components in an average room.

If costs wouldn't matter? I would have my own compound, or campus if that makes more sense.
I like a combo of brick and modern styling.
There would of course be a SOTA listening room somwhere on the premesis with only the best measuring equipment available.
I probably wouldn't choose these speakers or amps but they look nice.
There would also be an extremely overpriced esoteric listening room filled with audiophile nonsense picked purely based on aesthetics. I think that stuff looks cool. Should have horns, tubes, and vinyl.
There isn't enough boxes in this system, there should at least be outboard passive crossovers.
I also want the best recording studio in the world. All the most talented people will want to record there. My booth would have the best Genelec's or Neumann's money can buy of course.
Then there needs to be space for the artists to perform live so I would have an excellent concert hall. Once again this would attract the most talented performers to come visit my campus.
And of course an outdoor performance area for more raucous performances when the weather is nice.
I also like to dabble in DIY so I would have a great shop
And to verify my DIY designs and other equipment purchases I need the same Klippel and Audio Precision instrumentation as Amir of course. Would probably have an anechoic chamber as well just for the hell of it.

Lol, the 1 million dollar system and then also a Koenigsegg Gamera in the garage.
I would buy a system that could play leaf blower, lawn mower, weed whacker, and power washer "music" at 140 db. It could be operated from a remote (safe) location and would also have a dawn-to-dusk (and vice versa) mode. My neighbors who believe that every sunny day is an invitation to make noise in their yards would be treated to many hours of this listening pleasure, as I am frequently to their delights.
I believe the FBI has such a system but I doubt they got theirs from Best Buy. Amazon maybe?

Don't forget to include Jay Leno's garage, for when you need to get some fresh air after long listening sessions.
Well, if cost doesn't matter, then I would happily waste money $22,000 to simply have a pretty cable sleeve.

An acoustically well-treated room with two flush-mounted Genelec 1236A's. Possibly a pair of 7382A if I find the base too thin. And a comfy Eames Lounge chair
Million dollar studio and a knock-off Herman Miller Aeron chair. Nice
And you would be right because according to Michael Fremer,
Yep!
He failed to mention how the soundstage was so clean that if it was as if, etched and carved, from a solid piece of metal...
