Did anyone else notice that a lot of the amplifiers were directly in front of the speaker's path of sound? Wouldn't that negatively effect the quality of sound output? I mean, sure maybe not to the degree we'd really care about, but for someone who sank $5 million into a system....

This is a first class case of something looking way better than it sounds.

I noticed the amp location too. You can get a "microphone" effect from pentode amps that really muddies the sound and raises the sound floor to an awefull level. You can get away with it somewhat with really efficint speakers but with this system, I would bet his $6Mill that this is an issue.

Also, McIntoshes can almost put out too much light for a dark HT. Even in my HT, If I listen to music in the dark, I can see a green glow on my screen from my one lighted 2105. Part of why I run 250's in my HT.

Is anything even plugged in? If it is, I'm not sure how he did it, unless the wires are all run through the floor (which is possible) but I don't even see wires running to some of the speakers? Just me?

On the right-front-top speaker that is mounted upside down you can see the red and black connections but no wires running to them.

It looks cool in the pic, I can't imagine what it looks like being in the room.

I was looking at the pics there. I noticed he is using the same calbe box as i am....

Everything else, a little bit different than my set up...

O well, mine sure sounds SWEET!!!!

I also like the look on his wife's face. His arm around her tightly. See, Honey, this was a good idea. She is thinking of the really sweet jewelry she could have had...
