Wow, looks like more than 10 channels, man!

McIntosh MC-2102 Amplifiers (30)

FArrrk ... $15000 each! Thirty of the buggers!

Total price for that system ... circa $6M

Obscene!

Obviously, being murrican - big is good, more is better ....!

I'm more intested in the wall of vinyl, months of enjoyment there.


I once saw a quote about whether you were a music fan or a HiFi obsessive. If your kit costs more than your music collection then you have problem.

This Dogma has meant extended shopping sessions to restore the balance after buying green solo, reflex and some AT head phones.

I about get a new cartridge for my headphones ..... more happy record shops I guess.



All those expensive amplifiers and speakers ruined by a glass table .... the sound reflections ruin the ambience.

I wonder what would happen to the dog if cocked its leg up on any of that.

I assume it's vinyl .. could of course be lazer disc!

I dare say if it cocked it's leg against a McIntosh MC-2102 Amplifiers that would be a $15K bill, and a long wait to get one! The whole $6M investment would be up the swany, and the dog would find a new home in the pound!

If it shits on the table or the sofa - it should be congratulated!

I pictured a sign on the sealed enclosure for this section of the house that said: remove everything but the bare essentials and don these robes. No food or drink allowed, or any other substance.
Then I noticed the dog!

Thats just funny.

Here is some interesting stuff too:

This room is a living nightmare to my mind. I could not be at peace in this space. I think the couple involved here have retreated from the World into their own solid state circuit board.

Although in it's own way this room stands as an interesting piece of performance art and as a warning to sufferers of Upgraditis.

could be it is just set up more like an actual Theater rather than Home Theater where the surround channels are multiples running front to back using separate amps but having the same exact signal for a "seamless no holes" audience coverage though in a room that size pretty much overkill.

the other option is the system is 7.1/Circle surround.

either way a damn lot of hardware

[charleyphogg]

Just think of how much heat that room must generate. 35 amps, and at least that many overhead spot lights

[faight]

i thought that all that was only there to stop the dog feeling lonely when they play music for it when they go out
