in front of the speakers vs placing them to the sides or behind seem to make them vulnerable to feed back.

the 2nd ones are Kharma Exquisites (cost more than my car); not sure what the first ones are. full Rockport turntable system runs about as much as a new RS4, not counting the cartridge. monoblock darTZeels are about $18K each. I wonder which dot.com he cashed out of??? :-)

I think it's really well done and nicely integrated, no imposing bass traps or sound diffusers taking up space in the room. I'd frickin' *pay* money to spend an afternoon locked up in there!

I'm sure nothing there's random. perhaps excessive,but not random.

snake oil and black magic possible

Smallest of things make a difference. These small differences may be seen as extremes, black magic or snake oil to mere mortals but to them well worth the investments.

To each his own.

when, as car entheusiasts, we are prime pickings for those who market low value products. After-all, 10-20k worth of S4 mods are hardly considered (real world) good value and do very little to increase the value of the vehicle, which in itself (almost regardless of brand and model) is amongst the worst investments a person can make.

Heck of a lot cheaper than all that.

I bet that guy spends more time in front of his system than the average car enthusiast does behind the wheel.

I love music and cars equally, but the above statement probably applies to me too. dangit, I *should* stop trying to rationalize it and get those hi-fi upgrades I've been wanting ;-)

I'd be too afraid that Clark was going to sneak up behind and and slit my throat, like in Sum of All Fears.

for great sound. I have a feeling the sound is just O.K......a kind of sick feeling...considering the budget for a room like that is what, $ 150,000.00 including the equipment...?
