How do people actually have that kind of money? WTF Shocked Don't get me wrong I would love to hear that system. And if I ever have that kind of coin lying around I hope to be so inspired.

Thumbs Up

That is certainly nuts! I wonder how it sounds

I've just invested another $80K in some new active fronts, currently just finished design and beginning prototype building stage. The designer is confident it will outperform other speakers more than 3x its value

I don't know about that horn loaded sub. For throw it's great. For close range use, I don't think it would sound that good.


I'm also not too impressed by the way the equipment is 'installed'.

First off I doubt those speakers actually sound good let alone in that room. Then again I'm not a horn fan either. Nothing like screwing up the sound wave patterns coming from numerous sources in a screw ball arrangement. I guess these guys never bothered to read the fundamentals behind sound wave dispersion.

Insanity. Pathological. Diagnosable. Unless he does it with a grin on his face, then that's awesome.

I am willing to give him the benefit of a doubt, I would love to see how those horn subs are driven and crossed over. I guess it would sound like you are standing inside of a pipe organ. nice toys!
