What would change in your setup if you won the lottery?

If I won the lottery I think I would just begin by getting quotes from my favorite bands and just have them come over every couple months to perform live.

I bet I could get Peter Gabriel to come over when there isn't a scheduling conflict for somewhere around 50k

Don't know if I would change my set up itself as much as the room. As much as I love my house I would want to make it a little different. I would build me a new house with a room that sets up better for a 7.1 set up. I have a large room now, 18x23, but the way it's laid out I can't set up 7.1, only 5.1. The tv and couch are along the longer walls so the distance to the tv is 18 ft. I can't move it along the shorter walls because on one side is the stairs and on the other is the front door and an adjacent window. Wife says it would look ugly on either one.

My room is of similar size and layout and I have room for 7.1... and two rows!

If I won the lottery I think I would have a whole new set of hobbies that would pre-occupy my time. HT or 2CH would eventually enter into the equation down the road...a few years. After I got bored with my yacht and um, plane.

For 25k I'll dress up like him and lip-sync.

Deal?

Do you mind elaborating or perhaps a picture or two? Thanks.

A couple of these, just to take care of the Villa of course....

Then buy this

And then hire about half the guys on the board here that have enormous amounts of passion for Klipsch products and tremendous ideas for future development.

I think that you and your money would part ways rather quickly if you did this.

Lots of pics in my sig...

My first row is ten feet from the front wall, perfect for TV and immersive for projection. With the room 18+ feet deep, there's room for a second row behind. Side surround speakers on the side walls and rear surround speakers in the back wall, all far away from the front row so no speaker is ever screaming into your ear.

Nice, but I like the view from the first one, OK I am taking back my application for housekeeper, will work for food (and some drinks) to live there, it's all I would need. Can I watch the housekeepers work ?

That first house, I could just sit there for a week just looking out with a drink in my hand while the music plays, after that week I will make it to the beach.

This is you Dtel. It used to be the baddest on the island, but some of the newly built pads are very close to its equal IMO. Presidio Del Mar It cost 25m to build. It was on the market for 32M and it sold for 12M in 2011. Someone got a steal so to speak.

This thing sprawls forever and you can be Kenny Chesney's neighbor.

I maxed out on the number of pics for the thread, but obviously this place drips of filth.

Sure, thanks I bookmarked it, why I don't know but I did. :D

I wouldn't want something that fancy even if I could afford it, but it's some amazing homes. I would want a nice simple party house where I could have friends over with a little space to lay back, If I invited friends over to one of those places they would never leave !
