Title: Home Theater overkill?

This is why I like the fact that people can get filthy stinkin rich in this country - to do crazy chit like this:


The Six Million Dollar Home Theater (http://gizmodo.com/353963/6-million-kipnis-home-theater-seats-3-might-be-worth-the-money)

When I read Aske's posts, this is exactly how I picture his apartment.

Given that Vader's a tick over seven feet tall, that stormtrooper has to be about 6'4".  Wow.


And as for the hyper-indulgent home theater setups: yeah, Mr.. Audiophile, I'm sure that 2,048th speaker is the one that really makes the difference. [sm_jack]

Clive knows how tall Vader is and then he mocks in binary.  What a complete nerd.   :borg:

the funniest thing is some of those speakers are positioned that the driver dispersion can't get the sound wave to the listener's ears before it gets interfered with

Unless the system is set up that sound comes from specific speakers in order to simulate directional sound (thus some or most speakers are not driving at all most of the time) then I have to agree with Aske. There would be so much interference I would think it would sound like crap.

But I bet it would be cool to jam with Guitar Hero or Rock Band.
