Name the tube amp in the Lexus commercial

It's interesting that they chose the Jolida because I would guess that only a minority of Americans now could recognize a tube amp.

I imagine its a very, very small minority which is why I think that there is another motive, esp. when its a VERY high end product. I think that there are some very expensive speakers in one of the sets of 30 Rock for example; maybe Consensus?

I think it's about time that we start to see audiophile type gear in ads, and not XXse lifestyle type systems.

I always found it silly when I would lust over the interiors of the mansions of the rich and famous and see how they wimped out on the audio side of things.

It seems like it's just fine to brag about spending big bucks on an imported coffee machine, and not spend anything but chump change on the stereo system, if there even is one.

The more "normal" people see this stuff the better it is for the hobby.

Now concerning House, I am undecided about how his character advances our hobby or not.
I guess it depends on what your opinion of him is.

And yes that does indeed look like a vintage Audio Research amp sitting under the TV.
Not a speaker in site, maybe the AR was thrown in with the cement block/wood plank 1970's audio furniture-retro chic?

Lacee-House(Hugh Laurie) is quite a gifted musical person with playing piano,guitar and even writing music;so I can see him using real high end gear on the set if he has any say;the sota is a high end turntable;just can't figure out the speakers in his office setting.

House also had an episode where he had a Honda CBR1000rr Repsol Edition on his show. I assume he rides cool sportbikes like I do...lol :)

Never saw it, but did see one in plain view in an Acura
commercial. Seemed to be a champagne color like the Canary
amp or CJ. It looked like a premier 11 or one mono Prem.12
amp.
