More AVS Forum fun...
This guy spent more on his HT than you did:

That's over 500K in equipment, easy. The Wilson X-1 mains go for about 85K alone, the surrounds are 22K a pair and he's got three pairs, etc, etc. Note the ceramic cable holder-uppers, that's friggen nuts. The guys over there are insane.

yes they are. but i've learned a lot from them. most people would think that everything in the AV world is terribly flawed if they took what they said seriously.

I know any criticism of set-ups like this come across as sour grapes, but if I were going to drop $500k on AV equipment, I would have my home theater look better than the demo room at the local stereo shop.
Again, to each his own, but I'm most impressed by home theaters that try to look like real theaters.
Plus, the dude really doesn't have that many DVDs. I imagine the top three rows of his racks are DVD Audio or something though.

I am quite happy with my system.
I am sure he is also
If I had the money I would buy nicer equipment also.
I wonder why he does not have Bose

Please note: I'm not dissing this guy at all for spending that amount of cash on a system. To each his own. It's more that I'm just amazed at the lengths some people will go to for quality sound reproduction.
Gotapex: yeah, I read that.

Do those ceramic speaker wire holder uppers actually DO anything performace wise? I would eat my hat if they actually did. To me, spending that much on audio is silly. I think there is a point of diminishing returns in HT, and I think it's well before half a million bucks. If I had half a million to spend on a HT, I'd build a HT room that held 20+ people and looked like one of those old time movie palaces.
