zx10guy, just curious why you don't have automated turn-on/off your big system with say an AMX control system? You then just press one knob and here it goes... sequenced on or off.

Congratulations, a very nice setup! I have a pair of 802 and was thinking about something similar in the house we are going to build. A cinema room that doesn't look and sound like a cinema but tends more towards high-end acoustics, angled ceiling and left and right walls. Have you looked at Behringer DEQ2496 room acoustics processor?

Congrats again!

I was thinking about posting a pic, but if THAT isn't high end maybe I shouldn't. Nice collection of gear!

It also seems that I need to get myself some more tubes, only have 13 here.

EDIT: Wow zx10guy, I can only echo what everyone else has been saying. What an excellent looking home theater setup.

This is truly highest-end, not only the best components there are, but acoustically extremely well designed listening room by some veterans in recording and acoustics. Enjoy at Audio Asylum Inmate mikel's Music System and here how the listening room was designed and build lavigneroom.

Now that is some dedication, a whole room just for listening to music.

Not just a room but a whole seperate building

Oh.

I have a whole room, and my place only has 4 rooms. A whole room is hardly crazy. Having a whole house, though, is something else.

That whole building is simply gorgeous. The gear, the layout, the media, everything. That, right there, is my ultimate dream. I think the best part is that he only has one chair. An experience like that cannot be shared, except with the music.

Bravo, good sir.

I believe it should be shared. It's a crime to not allow others to enjoy a "slice of heaven on earth".

Mike has in the latest version two chairs behind him and one more on the left side, see http://image.inkfrog.com/pix/mikel/DSC_00140014_001.jpg Best thing is that this room measures flat. You can put any gear inside a room but if it is not specially designed for acoustics like a concert hall for instance, you won't hear its max capabilities.

van der Rohe & Reich Barcelona chairs + ottoman. $6k a piece plus another $4k for the ottoman. I'm not worthy.

Maybe I should clarify: for meets, get-togethers, special occasions, and the like I totally agree. I like the other chairs in secondary listening positions. I was just pleased to see that the listening position was not, say, a loveseat. While actually listening, there is nothing and no one interfering with you and music.

 

[starcat]

His speaker cables cost $30k the pair and he has two pairs.. I am not worry about the ottoman and chair costs

It says he has been married for over 30 years. Well no wonder, he has a whole house to go to "listen to music"(take a break from the wife)

I didn't mean anything by my remark, Sherwood. I was just having fun.

Don't be such a jerk, then!

Seriously, I don't even know what you posted to begin with (didn't bother to go back to read your initial post) so I really am only having fun. Nothing wrong with that, is there?

EDIT: Oh, now I see! Actually, you're right! It would be a shame not to share such a system with your friends! But I've seen that quite a few times with pics of mega systems... the one seater deal. Wish I could remember which system it was that was most striking in this regard. I think it was some guy in China who owned a high end audio company. The room was huge and mostly white, very clean looking, with a single seat in the rear center. It makes for a rather powerful statement about the nature of the solitary journey to the highest of all high end systems.
