this has to be fake......

If this audio rig is real......

[marcello]

Not in Japan it isn't....

[jazzbo]

I doubt it. Some people have a lot of money. I bet that system sounds incredible!

[porcy62]

The loudspeakers are from AvantGarde, very efficent horn speakers, with active subwoofers, for triode tube amp.

reminds me of a scene from i think "ruthless people."

jeff daniels worked in a cheap stereo store, and he would always sell the largest speakers to the dumbest customers.

[jazzbo]

From what I know of horn speakers, it's more than just these being "big" for dumb people. These should give incredible presence and dynamics, and are extremely efficient allowing one to use very low powered amplifiers, which in my experience can give the very best of sound.

I'd love to have this set up. . . maybe as a second system. . . -_-

[porcy62]

From my listening experience I learned that for audio engineers is easier to build good sounding high powered amps than good sounding efficient speakers, but I never listening this system...

It looks like it needs a very large room.

Now, if someone were able to have a comparable system on 12 volt that you could put in the back of your Ford Van.

Imagine pulling up alongside some punk driving his tricked out rice burner, pumping out hiphop at distorted volume through his piss ant aftermarket car stereo.

Slowly crank up your system as you play Larry Young's Unity with enough clean power to leave him and his car sitting in the ditch as you drive away.

Ahhh, if only.......

First time I've seen Avantgarde's basshorn(the thing in the middle).

Another picture....

This person needs to get out more.

Yes, but the same is true when looking at the pictures of some of our members' CD collections ...

I would not want a system like that in my house...I may be crazy but I don't want my stereo system to be the main focal point of my room. On the other hand, my better half says my music collection takes up too much room!!!

I wonder if these folks put more money into reading glasses than books.

[jazzbo]

Come on Mark, you just need to get a bigger house! That can just be "one of your rooms."

u beet me 2 it!

You know, you could solve the problem of needing such a high-fidelity system in order to reproduce instruments in a life-like way if you just went out and saw more concerts.

But that's not really the point, is it? That's like saying the point of buying a Ferrari is to go to the grocery store every week.

Lon, Actually I could probably use a bigger house but I'm not sure I could use that system to sell Gina on the idea!
