Kain Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 So, what's your reaction? Waste of money or actually worthwhile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liebherr954 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 If I had the extra money (and a lot of it)I would have the same but in a deep blue. That theater room looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted March 23, 2009 Moderators Share Posted March 23, 2009 If you were considering something like that $1m wouldn't be a big deal. I would think it sounds great it better, nice IB subs ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn5 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Without even looking at the video I can say without a doubt, if you have the money to spend and it makes you smile - it's worth it. Edit; And after watching the video, only one thing comes to mind - for a $1M, I better not have to see letterboxing on my screen. Holy crap! Other than that, I think it is absolutely worth it. If you've got millions laying around, why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Most interesting... both the system and the question. The system is genuinely impressive. For the folks that are accustomed to buying things without asking how much they cost... whatever floats your boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunburnwilly Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 So, what's your reaction? Waste of money or actually worthwhile? It's a showroom for a companies products and ideas . If it generates more biz for them maybe it's worth it . Sure does seem like the owner of the company is happy with it . So in that respect it was worthwhile .

BuyOtherSoundEquipment Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Sorry to burst Goldmund's bubble, but Kipnis has him beat by about $5,000,000 in the no-holds-barred-infinitely-diminishing-returns category: http://www.kipnis-studios.com/The_Kipnis_Studio_Standard/Cinema_Beta.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 ok, that's just stupid reporter is easily convinced and doesn't know what he's talking about 5 Hz- yeah right. there's profit margin out the wazoo when they can fly you there in a G3 and serve you champagne at the door.

CECAA850 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 5Hz, it's doable with room gain. It may not be flat but I'm sure it's there. He may even have one of those rotary fan subwoofers that goes down to 1 hz. I can get 110 dB @10 Hz at the seated position with my IB, so I'd bet he's getting some 5 Hz info at the seats. It does make my 4500 watt system look enemic however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 That's Home Theater redefined!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InVeNtOr Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 i think you can get the same results with less money. i must be a prude or something, when ever i hear the phrase "Ultimate home theater," and it doesn't feature klipsch speakers, i always think that room could be better. i bet Indy's room can give that room a run for it's money! man i wish i lived close by.....

IndyKlipschFan Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 hehehehe I bet I can get most to jump in my HT too! LOL Thanks InVeNtOR for the nice comments! 130 db for a long time..??? OUCH.. and notice he said a door closes at 100 db.. I do it at 130 db?? I found this curious.... Louder is better.?? How about "more realistic" is better.. We can always turn things up and it seems cool to do so too. That said.. Movies like Perl Harbour are just fantastic on my system as well. And for a LOT less!

We can always turn things up and it seems cool to do so too. i am glad i am not the only one who caught that. i like my system a whole lot more when i crank it up. it should never come down to who can have a higher volume, but who's sound effects make you look around the room the most! if you have a cat in your ht room during a demo and it's chasing the sound, then you might have something. i know i will get flamed for this a little but i have a living room ht. i play "jungle scenes" from the thx disk and the cat goes nuts over the bee flying around. makes me laugh my a** everytime.

IndyKlipschFan Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 That jungle audio is soo cool. The Beatles remix for the "LOVE" CD 5 channel audio DVD cranked up some has birds, bees, and other audio too.. I had it cranked outside...and funny thing was the birds in trees around my house chirped along with it... THAT was cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauln Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I can think of a million other things I'd rather do than listen to ultra high fidelity airplane engines, shouting, door slamming, and bombs; especially at +30dB over the realistic level. I'm guessing that with so many speakers and who knows what kind of gear the noise floor in the room is probably high, the super loudness may be to cover that. Now if that reporter dude had shown up with a stack of his favorite jazz LPs under one arm, that would have been funny to see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a "cat scan" on my home theater once. I had everything hooked up and was playing a demo CD (Digital Dimensions) that has a track that is recorded racket ball play - so it sounds like you're inside the court with the ball bouncing all over the room. The cat was walking across the room and when one hit played, she ducked. [H] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Anyone see this one yet......and he's expanded qite a bit since 2007. http://blog.audiovideointeriors.com/traditional/207mc/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyKlipschFan Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Nothing like all those cool bright blue lights up front to distract you from WATCHING the movie! It looks impressive, I agree. Hands down beautiful, if your a McIntosh lover!! As for me... Dynamic Power*: The KA THX amp with 2 sub speakers, 2050W into 8 ohms, 3025W into 4 ohms @ 5% THD / *Dynamic power indicates the actual power this amplifier for the subs! And the Sunfire.... 200 wpc x 7...... So 1,400 for the mains. hmmmmmm Savings and results.???? Big Savings and enjoyable with my Klipsch! !
