wouldl ove to ehar how those valve amps sound, both under-driven, fo a clean sound, and over-driven (the only way to use a valve) for that valve warmth

EDIT: interesting use of the bookshelves for acoustic purposes… though it's too "neat" to do all that much - staggering the depth of the books has a better effect

says it right in the first line. 6 million dollars.


personally, i dont like it. sure, it probably sounds nothing short of amazing, but its too damned cluttered. id prefer to take a 10k dollar home system over that monster any day.

Saw that on HardOCP, it's not impressive. The room is ugly as Hell and it's really just a demo room not something people come by and watch movies and play games on.

It looks impressive, and i wouldn't say no to a setup like that. But for practical use i think there are way too many speakers, that many is simply overkill. But as i say, it still looks great

and i thought running 2x 5.1 setups was overkill in a room that was 18x12.... cool as hell, but on the edge of overkill definitately.


That there, is simply insane, i don't think anything could possibly sound even remotely right, would it, i'd have to be there to hear for myself....

I mean that's like a concert setup, to much for a small room......i don't think even at .5 volume would anything sound right....... not sure.....

If that indeed costs 6 million, I don't know how one can afford that kind of money if he/she wastes them like that.

Good for him/her though.

not nessaryly, i've seen "professional" setups that sound absalutely like crap...... just because anyone might have a certificate or degree or diploma stating that they know something, doesn't nessarly mean it.

I would have to sit there and listen to it to make any real judgement on it.... the iceing and the cake look good, but it doesn't mean it is good (specially if it's made of shit or is filled with crap)

Man, some of you guys are nuts. That setup is awsome, and I bet nobody here would turn it down if they were offered it. While it not be "necessary", it still kicks the crap out of my setup. I'd maybe add a Devo style spaceship to the middle of the room, just to complete the effect.

Hell, I'd watch old Charlie Chaplin movies on that thing.

cmon, are we talking "i'd take it cause it's worth a shitload" or we talking "i'd take it cause it would be the utlimate experience".... or maybe because "e-penis"

seriously, while i haven't had 6 million $ worth of stuff around me, i've had a considerable amount of power and juice, and similare setup, sounds good, when setup properly.. but still... it's utterly rediculious.....

so you think that the type of pros that install the kind of equip & that kind of setup wouldnt know what the yare doing? lmao.
i agree that there are many 'pro' sellers/installers that dont know sht from personal experience(i have about 10g in my current home theater & have helped with purchase/setup advice with several of the docs at work so i know exactly what u r talking about) but these guys are on a whole other level & wouldnt be able to maintain that kind of business for that kind of clientel if they didnt have their act together at the highest level.
think 'z' had a point.
& judas, you have never, ever had a similar setup. not even one that is 1% of the value of that.

perhaps i said that much to "in general"

there is a difference between someone going out, purchasing the equipment, getting recommended specific stuff, and putting it together themselves, OR getting a friend to put it together for them, or the slight chance that a "professional" put it all together for them. The chance remains, it could potentially be a "not so great" experience.

You'd be surprised what business have and continue to maintain the clientel that they do, we've got plenty of examples all over hell and back.... I know, i've experienced it, i don't know anyone that hasn't seen or heard or been aware of small and large businesses that manage to strangle every bit of money out of someone with poor quality, pure crap, completely unreliable and horriblely supported. But it's also baised on per person expeirences....

either way, your making quite the bold statement, pretty confident that i haven't been around and experienced a $60,000 setup...... fact of the matter is that i've been around more. Why such doubt?

I've sat, played a xbox360 (hdmi) on a system that had 4 stereo amplifiers, connected via analog to a digital 7.1 decoder, hooked up to a 67" 1080p Plasma (would have preferred lcd), Plenty of big ass speakers sitting around, i couldn't give you the estimate on the value, but i'm pretty confident that it wasn't more then 12 grand for the sound system alone..... perhaps.. i don't know... don't really care. The room it was sitting in was built into pretty much an identical mini theater.. i'd guess it to be a 15x25 foot room, and i would also guess the ceiling at around 12 or more feet high.

It was lack for a better word, overkill even in that sense.

geraldmango is an unknown quantity at this point

ok theorectially speaking. how much do you think you could build a similar sounding system judas? i think this one was 6 million right?

reckon you could for example. build one at say 1 million, walk this guy into the same room blindfolded and fool him into thinking it was the same one ?

possibly... but i wasn't trying to make the point on dollar value... you can throw any dollar value at anyone....

It's the quality, the purpose, and application of the matter...

The simple fact of the matter is that i can't make any solid judgement on if that system would indeed be the most incredible and wanted system setup or not, not untill i experience it for myself.

No different then me spending 6 million on a computer system, sure it's
