Puncher I think you are right, its sad, that came to my mind as well... its all sort of a bit desperate .....

...Can you imagine having spent all that money and sitting in that awful room (you would think for that money you could at least manage to create a home cinema experience with comfy recliner chairs and the like) and being blasted by all those enormous and over-powering speakers towering over you... horrid!

I find it somehow unsettlingly.................sad!

Maybe sad is the wrong word, but definitely unsettling!

i don't think TASTE is what they wanted... they wanted performance clearly, i'm sure it sounds ridiculous, i'm also sure 7 BeoLab 5 would sound better

Dear All:

Money & taste are not mutually exclusive! Over kill but to each their own.

The McIntosh amps are lush

As said before, I'd prefer some BL5's also

Yes, I can just see it now.

Dim the lights.

The film starts.

You have just realized the popcorn is still in the kitchen.

Break your neck tripping over the cables.

That set up of his is so cluttered I wonder how he able to set himself in a mood to relax and watch a movie. I mean come on, no one is that impervious to the influence of the aesthetic.

For that money, I would go for Goldmund.

WOW.... What an "installation". I guess nobody told him he could have already done this with 2 pairs of Beolab 5!!!!!!! Come on. This is really not serious.

OMG

That's just jaw droppingly ................................................................................... naff...............

Nice bookshelves though, although I shudder to think what reading/viewing material is stuffed in them if THAT is their idea of tasteful.

What a lovely installation.

Cables all over the floor, a $6.00 fan blowing on your knees and enough amplification to mask the jet turbine fan noise of a 4K pro cinema projector mounted behind the prime seating position.

Page one Act one Scene one FAIL.

As is often pointed out on this board, money can buy you a load of kit, more often than B&O, but not necessarily stylish kit
