The Snell THX Music & Cinema reference Towers designed by Kevin Voecks in 1998 for George Lucas. used in the KSS $6 million cinema.   Best speakers in the world.  

Quote: That's a load of bullocks you are talking there. Nothing sold on the market can really compare to B&W 800D. Only perhaps something like these rarer 'exclusive' speakers.   And I talked to KSS and got this answer about the Snell THX vs any other speaker in the world like B&W...

No? Take a look at the prices I listed. The Bowers & Wilkins Diamond 800 is only $15,000 - $25 000 depending on the store/date they were sold. There are probably more than a 100 speakers that cost more than that. Yet I put them on the list as many have claimed it is the perfect loudspeaker...

Quote: Well yeah kinda.. Snell THX 8.8 surround :) thats the Snell THX M&C Reference.   So the speakers would be used for movies, games & music equally. A general AV experience. Both alone (in pairs) and multi channel :D    

Quote: I'm sure those hollywood movies would be real kickarse if you watch them live!

Incase people need imagination :P Scenario: Your government has found out that one of your ancestors buried a large amount of diamonds that have an accumulative value of over $100 billion!! the money's been wired to your account.   Which speaker would you chose? I'm just saying I would...

Don't hate me for asking. Head-fi is renowned forum for discussing hi-fi... amirite? I made a thread a few weeks/months back asking what the best setup in the world was if you had infinite money / was a billionaire but most people just said "lulz dont spend more than 5000!!!" = ruining the point...

Quote:   Nope. Sonically they are 100.00% identical.   

That's quite off topic but yeah Norway really is ridiculous. A beer is anywhere from £5 to £10 for a pint depending on where you buy it!    

Ok this is going to be a very long story but bear with me. I've been contemplating new headphones for months now. I've only recently decided to become an audiophile (My dad has been one for donkeys years, used to own B&W Nautilus, Bryston monoblocked amps for each individual channel etc...)  ...

Quote: Hmm, I would guess that's a contributing factor to the price. Are the Snell's the best speakers money can buy though? I would have Wilson/B&W speakers were better since they seem to be chosen as the audiophile speakers of choice.    And I'm agitated that there is absolutely...

So we've probably all seen the KSS or "Cinema beta" the famous $6 million home cinema that consists of:   8 Snell THX Music & Cinema reference Towers 16 Snell THX 1800 sub woofers 30 McinTosh MC2102 amplifiers  Sony SRX-S1110 4096x2160 projector 3 Crown Macro gold amplifiers 2 Mark...

Quote: Finally a serious answer :) Though I've seen that home cinema many times before... Is it the best of the best though?   I also have a hard time believing it costs 6 million dollars... Anyone know the prices of individual items?   I think you can get the sub woofers...

A lot of people don't exactly get the point of the topic ... :)   If some one like a Sheikh, demanded his people to build him the BEST cinema in the world to give him the absolute best experience in the world... and he would gladly spend $20,000,000,000 if he had too....   What would his...

Quote: You see that wasn't my question.... :P My question was, if a billionaire had billions of dollars to spend and he wanted THE BEST of the BEST. for his home cinema... What would he buy? Certainly if you have 50 billion USD in your bank and loved hi-fi equipment you'd spend more than...

Very best home cinema imaginable... as if an Emirati  Sheikh became an AV enthusiast... What would he spend a million dollars on?   Anyone bothered to show/create the full setup (receivers, speakers, amps, projector/TV, subs etc...)
