No tubes here, big azzed Krell System. Probably cost more than a four bedroom house... :o :o :o

(I'm sure that this is set up at a show, and not in someones home, or a permanent display...)

personally I'm disappointed by the lack of sound insulation on the walls. the guy should be cancelling all those standing waves.

Please tell me that huge construction behind the amps is not a subwoofer.
Makes as much sense as using a Turbo Porsche to commute on the Hollywood freeway during rush hour.

Quit yer bitchin'! Everybody knows you can NEVER have too much horsepower. The horns look like velocity stacks for a Cat D9 to me!

:)

Back to earth - unbelievable! As for the point - it's probably "mine's bigger than yours". As Tiny down at the Porsche dealer once said - "If you're going to over compensate - you might as well over compensate!"

This system makes no sense!

That monster behind the rack IS a subwoofer. It's the massive Avantgarde Basshorn active sub. The speakers are a pair of the Avantgarde Trio. The setup pictured is using 600W Krell monoblocks to power extremely sensitive horn loaded speakers. This is of course pointless, unless you want to reproduce the SPL of standing next to a space shuttle launch. I can't even imagine being able to turn the volume control past 8PM without destroying your eardrums. Just ballparking the cost of all equipment pictured, we're talking in excess of $300,000. Duh.
