$1.0M system...and they put $160,000 to cables, $130,000 to TT and digital source...
...and $840 bucks towards isolation (with 8 x 15" subwoofers in the room) and $0 towards power conditioning (with 6 channels of world-class amplification)...

Thats exactly what i thought 
It seems they really cheaped out on the shelving.
How many of these do you think they will sell? Anyone think they will sell 25? 50? 100? 200? And how many folks will become millionaires by winning the lottery in your state or country in the next year?
So why do so many intelligent folks get so crazy about high prices in high end audio?

If one can see where the money went , i have no problem with it , i dont know from which material these speakers are made , but anyway stiff / heavy / braced large membrane speakersystems just gonna cost you ,there is no way around it
Less than a day's work for the top Hedgies, and probably less than a week for the 2nd tier....
1000 SP 500 mini contracts for a 10,5 point ride on the sp will do the job , could be a half an hour thing for the right trader (0,5 points for the broker ),you do need the margin though, that will get you the speakers

Digital actives with 6 Lamm ML3? The active proponents will feel uncomfortable thinking about amplifiers with such low damping ...
Anyway, when I also read that the crossovers use 384kHz, 32 bits I think that this time a revolution can be starting.
Exhibitors at shows share the costs in renting an exhibition room so there can be many reasons why a combination is as it is
Well, the U3 is more than $500K, and with a couple of the Q18subs, closer to $700K. It would be quite a speaker system to hear, especially in as large a room as the one pictured. The U3 certainly excites a lot of other people.
Oh no , i refuse ,..... well actually that also means no more tube hiss /transformer hum in the system ( if you go all digital off course not with tubes anywhere ), just fooling around on the computer screen , chance the FR whenever you want with a digital X over , not enough bass in the movie , no problemo , a song which is recorded to hot on top just change the high freq

Yes, I referred to it in a previous post. 384kHz, 32 bits crossovers as I read elsewhere, the equivalent of analog according to our resident WBF expert. As foreseen, digital people would learn. A pity it would take so long and still costs so much money. Just stirring ...

Well I haven't been able to create an AD/DA loop at 384/32 that was totally transparent.
Which expert said this and what equipment was he using?
