I happened to come across this photo on the Mono and Stereo website. It's the recent installation of a complete system in this gentleman's home. Obviously this is not a great room despite the acoustic panels that were installed on the walls. It is extremely narrow and he is forced to sit just a few feet from the speakers. And the narrowness precludes setting the speakers on the short wall as well. I don't know- maybe he gets great sound but you'd think that with the money spent on this uber-expensive system, he could have chosen a better room or enlarged it by extending the back wall. Just my take. |

It's like the Ferrari buyer who lives on a small island. 90% of the buy is for bragging rights... |

Even funnier, they are the ones who installed that system. (nt, posted on July 5, 2022 at 12:44:10 | |

The system came in before his dedicated music room was finished. He couldn't wait to hear it. |

A few years back a friend into audio went to a house warming party - after a megabuck renovation. In the rumpus room was a brand new full Krell system. My mate asked how it sounded, and the owners exact words were "I dunno, but the kids like it"............... Trying to hide from entropy John K |
