I dont understand why , in spite of the process limitation, they do not play the system on with music ... Just a list of pieces of gear dont moves me ... 😊
Audiophile junkie - awesome vid about NYC million dollar system today
Audiophile junkie is one of the better YouTube audio guys despite having videos that seem too long at times.
Today he had a video highlighting 2 remarkable systems that was showcased inside a really nice townhouse in Greenwich Village New York City. Horn speakers, very high-end components and lots of Viva amplifiers were in the systems. A very comprehensive walk-through of the system. A worthwhile video to spend time with, highly recommend.

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 |
@p05129 +1 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! |
