Someone PLEASE bank roll me I AM that guy but with more clasic gamming systems thrown in. I love the Thorens dual arm turn table. Awesum! Thumbs Up

I thought my record collection was good back in the day at about 6000. This guys is awesum. Although I don't like te vinyl in the boxes piled that high. The records are starting to warp.

The positioning of those Sony projectors and the aspect ratio of the screen makes me think this guy was perhaps even blending.

You would need good audio to overcome the sound of those 1292's flying overhead.

The room is interesting....One chair, the poor guy must not have any friends, or they are all pissed off at him because they are now deaf.

For sure he is blending, I would think! The PJs look to be pointed straight on to the screen and they're way too far apart to be stacking. Cool gear...

That doesn't make any sense John. Great speakers yes, and they'll play loud I'm sure, but you're still completely destroying your dynamic range by crushing the lower end with all that noise from the 1292's. Good speakers can't make ambient noise go away.

Holy crap though. 7 story house with multiple audio/HT rooms each worth hundreds of thousand (if not millions) of dollars each. What does this guy do for a living??

I wasnt being literal. If you are doing critical listening you CANT have the pj's whirring away. Especially the '92 s.

I was really remarking about how GREAT the wilsons are. Just about the most transparent, best imaging speakers i have EVER heard.

Shocked
