Is it just laid out like that for the photoshoot or do the amps always sit on the floor in front of the speakers..

It's the same system which I posted a few day's ago... only a different link.

They seem to get enough attention these days Roll Eyes I found the link in a german ht-magazine.

At least I could afford the same movie on blu-ray disk Winker

happy listening

The bit that shocked me was that he was feeding BluRay from a PS3! Someone's never heard of "source first"!!!

djftw,

True perhaps - but the PS3 is the only future proof BR player that I am aware of; and as the standards keep 'evolving' it is the only one I would buy at the moment - and I don't play games!

If it is the 60GB version it will play SACDs.

You'd think with a budget that large, he could have hired someone with taste to get it to look ok.

That really is the fugliest thing I've ever seen!

Good on him.....if that's what he wants to do then why not....

Joe90....if it was all Naim with multiple DBL's, multiple nSub's (which don't go that low for real HT stuff actually), 500's used as mono amp's, nVi's etc, would you have have said the same thing? Take off your green tinted glasses every once in a while and you may see another world out there.

djftw

PS3 is the beast that may have tipped the HD replay balance in favor of BluRay....it is remarkably good.

Cheers

Jim

Actually, I was criticising the arrangement of the gear, so yes, I WOULD criticise such a system, EVEN if it was Naim.

It looks like someone who has an unresolved obssession with building blocks.

DBLs are ugly.

I'd do it with SL2s.

Scratch that thought - if I really was going to do a mega theatre, I wouldn't even bother with domestic audio - I'd use professional reinforcement speakers. Love it LOUD!

Oh I wouldn't knock the PS3 in its own right, it's a spectacular piece of kit for the price and I own one! But it surely must be outperformed by some of the dedicated players out there, and if you've blown $6,000,000 I don't think price, or having to replace it at a later date can really be a huge issue for you!!!
