Wow.
If that £10k had included an appropriately-sized anechoic chamber for him and his hi-fi, then I would have thought he'd done quite well.

When it comes to the question of "How much should I spend on hi-fi?", (subject to a person's hearing and the proposed room), the answer to that Q. - which has always seemed appropriate to me - is that it's simply another example of the Law of Diminishing Returns - and probably exponential, too.
