having 30x McIntosh MC-2102 Amplifiers for surround is plain ... DUMB. Tube amps are great ... but on the other hand, creates a huge amount of heat. They need a pretty hefty air con to cool the room.
Even if I want to (and can afford to) I will only use the tube amps for the front channels. Solid states for the surround.
16 subwoofers will overload the room, easily.
The room looks like a Square. Big no-no with Bass loading and I see no acoustic control material.
so even $ is no object, IMO, it's not $ well spent.

I think this guy is half show off and half practical la...but I don't see anything wrong with using tubes over solid state. It's a matter of taste, they do sound very different! Heat is no problem la...just crank up the a/c.
OTOH, I don't know why this guy left so much garbage in the room like the cd shelf and stuff. I agree, acoustically it's not the best job, plus hardwood floors???
