SB,

I'm a tube amp fans but I'm not against SS.  In fact, I prefer Tubes over SS (for music), but just for HT setup I think using Tubes for the surround is funny':

Having 30 high power tube amps surrounding the audiences is like getting themselves BBQed in the centre...  Each MC2102 has 8x6550 + 8 small tubes, so there are 240 power tubs+240 small tubes --> imagine 480 light bulbs surrounding you...

Each amp burns about at least 500W (can't find the exact specs) in operation, + the air con and such ...

There are a lot of green house gas produced as a result of watching a movie.  

LP,  i'm just a guy spending too much time on the audio forums ... i can't even afford 0.1 % of it... call me eating sour grapes ...

ah ... those suspension racks are nice .. it's like $1200 a piece.

睇action movie, 會唔會搞到自己"龍"架?

probably not, but if the bass is overloading you will have headaches.

I think this guy is half show off and half practical la...

I think he's just getting mauled by the HT consultant...

I'll just build something like SilverCity

Intelstan

The large amount of stuff he has just creates the effect that his setup is so grand.  Lots of stuff are redundant.

Well...for that price of course it's diminishing return...but for a guy like him with money and dream...why not?

To be fair, I need to listen to it first before I can really make any valid comments...

So daimo, what other hobbies you're into???  besides photography and audio....

chobit

If I do have that much money, I still wouldn't do it that way.  Instead, I will build up the system the way I like it.  Plus I don't think I can tell the sound diff. between 1/2 million vs a million.. system!

However, I would probably go for the big screen =P

Slightly off topic... seems like there are audiophiles on the forum? any high hand mind to do a home visit and help me tune my cheap cheap audio room??? Doesn't sound right at all right now..... basement room, JM Lab 826s <- YBA Integre DT <- Naim CD5i... Won't buy new stuff for the next 10 years, unless changing 1 component will do SUPER magic. Willing to change cabling and willing to DIY sound dampening materials, etc..... Main thing is, want some help with speaker placements......

Back on topic with that 6 mil setup. Those sofa looks real uncomfortable for a 6 mil HT setup.... they need to get some Fjords home theatre recliners.....  guess they used up all their budget on the components n haf no cash for proper comfy seatings LOL  =P

Those vibration dampening feets under the PS3 really made me laugh LOL XD

Cardas cable all over.... I don't know about that.......

Am I missing something but is there no receiver/pre-amps listed? that Theta sound processor is digital in, digital out? Whose gonna keep those McIntosh Tubes happy?

I thought he is the only consultant for himself? Seems he wanna market his consultation as service for various theater setups (bling style home cinema, HK style 20 seats high quality cinemas, reference cinemas for various shows, etc).
