Does this image give you claustrophobia?

What a great set up.... in about a fourth of the space it should have. I literally get anxious looking at it. 

You?

wolf_garcia4,241 posts10-05-2018 10:05amIf somebody wants to blow large bucks for a wall of Macs I say COOL. It's like art...sort of...and I do like blue meters as I'm shallow and easily drawn to shiny objects. I know some people with too much money and they tend to put their housing specific sound bucks into multi room systems they can run from their iPhones, and I don't care...the good news is that a GREAT sounding system can be assembled for little money (relatively) and enjoyed by the "active" listener...most very wealthy people in my orbit are too busy for that.

"Like I said everyone knows Mac owners purchase more for looks than for sound, quality."


They got a better deal than most. They got a good sound as a bonus with the looks they like. You cannot beat that.


I do not have McIntosh anything and have no problem with autoformers either.

Impressive display of wealth.  Sound-wise, I'll bet my 10k system blows this one away!  (Caveat:  my system in my room).

It's all about the acoustics of the room and speaker placement!  This system seems to commit every sin in the book.

Has anyone else noticed the Ortofon cartridge box on the centre mid shelf, but no turntable in sight?

Can you imagine, how those 64 x midranges and 40 x tweeters could possibly all work in perfect unison without any smearing at all??? they’d have to be ultra matched not to.

From a reviewer " these speaker didn't quite convey the intimacy or focus of say a traditionally well engineered two way system in a near-field environment,"
