That is a rather broad question, especially since you have said specific brands you are comparing. I am sure there are many differences in quality if there really is that big a gap in price points.

Are you really comparing similar items? It would be hard to get a normal system above $10,000 even with top components. On the other hand, if you start wiring up a whole house with multiple listening areas and in-wall wiring that could add up in a hurry.

This stereo system includes JBL speakers that cost nearly $70,000 per pair, four 18-inch Velodyne subwoofers ($52,000), five Krell power amplifiers ($163,000) and a Mark Levinson pre-amplifier ($54,500). Then, of course, there’s the eye catching Clearaudio Statement Turntable, which adds another $137,000 to the overall cost of Audio’s expensive system.

Ok. Now that you have clarified, my opinion is that system is nuts. It's a safe bet that it sounds a lot worse than any mid-range CD or DVD based system. Unless the turntable is just for decoration.
