Not any Mac right now.

If I was dead set on a new Mac, I'd wait a month or so for the new Mac Pros to come out. All the current ones are too ancient for the price tag.

I'd probably just what I have right now... LS56 is a solid unit with 8 pres, DSP, 28 total I/O. With that, plus the $1300 I spent on my tower, I'd still have almost 2 grand left over. Probably invest that in more mics, or maybe put it towards a particularly high end pair of pres like an A2D or 610. Or... could expand the LS56 and get a pair of Octopres for 24 total lovely Focusrite pres.
