All of these systems have two things in common. Well thought out video and automation and mediocre speaker systems. A terrible shame for the consumer and a sad commentary on the priorities of the custom firms represented here.

Wow.  How stupid can one get?  You could probably spend less than 50,000 dollars and have a better setup.  Audiophile equipment is for removing idiots of their money.  I can buy cables for 12 dollars for six feet and they’d do EXACTLY the same thing as the cables he bought.  The cabling might make a difference for analogue signals that are traveling more than 100 feet.

What a colossal waste of money. Spend much less, get much more, and give the rest away—everybody wins.

As a custom home installer of 15 years (now retired), all I can say about this is “P.T. Barnum was right…There’s a SUCKER born every minute.”  Alright, there is good cable and there’s average cable, but this is taking it to a whole new level of “I KNOW there’s fish in that stream, the guy who sold me the bait told me so…”  I can show you on an oscilloscope the minute differences between types of cables, but the human ear CANNOT detect those differences.  Think about your clients when selling hi-end systems - sell them products that will make a difference…not things to line your pockets…this kind of crap gives all high-end installers a bad name.

Just for clarification…my x-d out word was one starting with C, followed by an R, then an A and ending with a P.  Apparently the system thinks that’s a bad word.  I didn’t leave a curse word for all to see!

Why do people always hate?  Leave the guy alone if he, yes the key word is “HE” has the money to spend let him.  Everyday in Las Vegas someone is betting millions and losing at least this guy got what he wanted and will enjoy for many years to come.

Good luck with your system and enjoy.
