Yeah but I'm sure the MIT magic boxes fix all that...

I'll show you mine if you show me yours. haha

Too bad he's not on this forum for me to say that to.

So Lady Gaga is indeed a man.

Photos from this guy who apparently likes him some B&W. Click through for the flickr pages with notes.

Kevlar poisoning. Impedes higher functions.

[Fitz]

of course it does

One day my garage will look something like that.

All of the speaker placement seems like a lousy, as if they were plunked down wherever it was convenient. There's a real deficiency in the amp department as well. Also, the room is really small and there doesn't appear to be any treatment at all. That said, I'd give my left bad metaphor just for the 2.1 part of that rig.

[Knuckledragger]

i had figured that the positions of the mains just looked bad due to the photograph. you don't need the .1 with those speakers, for music.

What is this "need" you talk about. I am unfamiliar with this concept in home audio.

Also, dubstep.

802's aren't that bassy, it's the 801's with the 15" woofer that'll really punch out the bass.

Saw this one posted on a forum. Defo awesome.

[Knuckledragger]

That's nobody's personal rig. Clearly it's a demo system from some high-falutin' audio boutique.

Quad 57 and Opera Callas SP at my favourite local dealer

There's some weird things obscuring my view of the goods...

Anyone ever heard these Joey Roth designed desktops?

[Duggeh]

They look like they'd skite about the desk. And the pink rubber cables are a little worrisome.

Looks to me like ceramic lampshades with a speaker shoved in one end

Not like those Transmission Audio beasts. Bewildering selection of products when you look at their site - but as pointed out the subs are truly outrageous. The Ultimate that is shown above costs $2m, needs 51kW of power amps and produces over 140dB - pretty close to a space rocket at launch and enough to make your ears bleed

Ribbon headphone driver. Product launch set for Winter this year. That's much more up my street than the $2M monster.

Heres what their first one looked like.

Now that is interesting!

[cetoole]

Indeed, very interesting. Curious how pricing will look, as well as the frame.

I think he likes JBL speakers.

The owner of the store's got a nice looking apartment.

Pardon my ignorance, but what chair is it?
