So often on AK, we hear about the economical stuff, the great finds and scores. Why not a thread about the other side of things If you happen to own anything that blows diminishing returns away, please feel free to post it.

If I'd have to guess, I'd say subbass...really, really, really efficient subbass

Looks like the result of the huge ingestion of MSG before bedtime. Where is the Cat in the Hat. For some reason that gives me the creeps. :sigh:

He has his turntable mounted right in front of those horns.

Other than that, I'm in awe.

Think that actually sounds good in that room? I just can't imagine the imaging being all that solid with speakers that big in a room that small. However, I could know nothing. Either way its beautiful equipment and would be neat to see in person.

Damn, that's quite the setup... beautiful and impressive at the same time.

However, I think I prefer something a little more containable than that

Not a single one of those devices can play records, 8-tracks, and radio all in one, with a whopping 8wpc.Image courtesy of some unknown site

It's stunning but if it's performance matched it's looks, i'd probably be a bit surprised. That room doesn't seem large enough to support "real" horn loaded sub-bass, but i've got to admit those horns are sweet.
