Audiophile junkie - awesome vid about NYC million dollar system today

They did a nice job of building everything into the cabinet, nice woodwork, nice gear. But that’s all that’s nice.

I grew up with my parents having the old Altec voice of the theater speaker system, which at the time sounded nice, but they also had a big room for them to breathe. This $1M system is jammed in a cabinet so how are you going to get depth? Since you are practically in front of the speakers and the back wall is right behind you, you are going to have sound waves bouncing all around you, and they don’t have any sound treatment.

I would think these speakers would be better in a larger room and the speakers 1/3rd of the distance out into the room and your listening chair placed correctly away from the back wall

That was a very interesting video but not for the reasons I thought it would be. I think this is the most extreme example I've ever seen of a system that was selected and installed for pride of ownership rather than sound quality. At anything above very quiet volumes it must sound terrible. But man, it sure looks cool!

This system looks like it has no place in that room.  Bet the guy never gets above 70db!  What a waste.....conspicuous waste at that!

First thing I thought about was how neighbors would not allow for loud listening. I sound proofed my dedicated room so I can listen as loud as I'd like.
