I mean this in the most kind way. But if price is no object and you only want the best, why would you listen to a bunch of people who may or may not have a clue what will work for you? Why not go to a shop, check out the gear (don't listen to them either unless you know them because they are going to be pushing one name or another) or just get some gear, if you hate it, sell it. You don't seem to have financial problems. I'd say go old school with the amp though. Get a U.S. Amps VLX-400. I'm serious, you will impress anyone who sees that monster. 1. its semi hard to find 2. its LONG and 3. it has 3 or 4 power and 3 or 4 grounds on it.
