Re: [ARSCLIST] Mostly for laughs

I've been to a guy's house with a system that retails for $250K--not 
what he paid.  His system is the only one I've ever seen that had as 
much time and effort for a good acoustic and good power.  The dude 
convinced the utilities to run 3 phase AC to his house.  He has one 110V 
leg dedicated for the listening room and the system has its own breaker 
box.  He had a very high priced acoustical engineer come in and treat 
the room with diffuser panels covered over with special fabric.  The 
fabric looks like a painted wall.  The sound in the room is pretty 
amazing.  It's conception and execution is more like a recording 
studio.  The good acoustics definitely swamp the affects of tweaking.
