Feb 7 2008$6 Million Home Theater Makes Me Weep

and then that one measly couch in the middle...

"and then that one measly couch in the middle..."

Of course, because after you've spent that kind of time and money building a home theatre, you certainly aren't going to be watching with family or friends.

My 32" Westinghouse is looking a little inadequate now...

I don't have to spend as much to get the same quality.

Huge headphones from Bose. One 72-incher from Mitshu. Two quad-based computers with blue-ray and HD players. Two bass woofers from Yahmaha under my Lazyboy. Sit about 6 feet from TV. Total less than 10K.

This guy/gal must have tiny dick or really small boobs. He/she's the type of people that like to drive huge cars that drive really slow to let everyone know that he/she has a big car.

blow 6 million on a home theater, and then waste it by watching a crappy kids movie. sheer genius

You're screwed if you lose the remote!

I'm glad the RIAA is working so hard to keep up this executive's lifestyle.

Wait a minute, Is that an MP3 player I see?
No not that one, the 32nd item to the left.

@1 & 2: "Seating for 3-6 (Arizona Leather Curved Couch & Director's Chair) or up to 24 (Premium Leather Theatrical Recliners)."

One of the 1st things listed: the 24 premium leather recliners.

@ damn luddites: Did you not see the library of DVDs on the exterior walls of the room?

@ everyone else: Be careful not to pull something, you guys are stretching really hard to try and come up with something to say to ridicule this. :)

i want marty mcfly to go in there with a fender and turn everything up all the way

I want I want! Of course, the first thing I'm buying when I become filthy stinkin' rich is an island, but this wouldn't be too far down the list.

Sound may be good, but 6 million to play Blu-ray? He may have a 4K projector but the content is still no better than 1080P.

Should've just installed a 35mm projector and gotten some real film reels.

Do those speakers go to 11?

I totally called it!

Okay, nevermind, I saw a 4K server listed. So he's getting content directly from the studios. Bastard.

@whistle

While I was reading this 300 kids in Africa died of starvation.

I guess you're either the cheese-dick who built this or an audiophile that can't see the ridiculousness of such a setup?

Main projector: wow
Storage: only 300Gb external drive??

For use to 525 degrees F: jeez...cook something while you're at it.

Overall, nice, but definitely overdone. Will it become a place for the hard of hearing? If it isn't already, it sure will be...

oh and Damn luddites...it wasn't a crappy movie at all...at least that's what I am saying.

But yeah, wow.

holy fuk
@ Amex
so what if he's a cheeze-dick or an audiophile, the man has a shit ton of cash and i respect that.

what an absolute idiot. $6 million.

people like that make me f***ing sick.

yeah it is kinda stupid you wouldnt even be able to freaken turn the volume up all the way with our blowing a ear drum. christ and finally on geekologie there is a guy with a projection screen bigger then mine i only have 120 inches and my projecter is only high def im geussing his is blue ray. But imagine the sound quality it would be freaken sweet it would be like you were in the movie

#20 are you serious? My projector is bigger than yours (123") and it'd be bigger if I could get rid of a wall and a closet door...and I've been posting here for a long time.

Not everyone who has tons of money to play with is "inadequate" Uneplo. Jealous pricks like you really grate on me. This person has plenty of money and wants to spend it on his own pleasures. Good luck to him I say. Ignorant comments from guys like you are the problem, not him.

@ 8. whistle - doesn't matter the size of the dvd collection, he's still watching a bad rat movie

@12. Superevil - the amp goes to 11, not speakers

.. to those of you making fun of the "rat movie" -- did you even see it? Do you know how golden a Pixar film would look on a setup like that, especially if he's getting the content straight from the company?

Maybe he works there -- who knows? Furthermore -- the movie was adorable and if nothing else, simply gorgeous. Which is probably the reason he chose to photograph it playing if not the former.

So put your tails back between your legs and get over yourselves. He's a music engineer for crying out loud.. this is his life. Good on him.

I'm totally impressed with the equipment. who wouldn't be? But if i was going all out i think i could have sprung to make the room a bit more stream lined by burying the speakers in the floor and sinking the others into the walls. room could still be round and could create shelving for all those movies between each set of large speakers. but.. i can promise i wouldn't have a single disk because i would also be using a kaleidescope server.

except in my system i use the my movies feature for windows media center and 3 TB of disk space to store content.

All that gear and he watches Rattatouille??!?!!

;D

hey,Azhar, don't knock La Rattatouille or I will summon the entire rat nation to crawl up your pants.

:P

@25 you obviously missed the part about vibration/isolation. The speakers are on stands like that to completely cancel out the effect the speakers have on each other through vibration. He's got 16 subwoofers all going at once would be enough to vibrate the floor to pieces. I think this is way over done and completely unneccessary and I want it. Just the engineering itself that goes into this room is amazing, he even goes as far as equal length wiring for all components to balance the timing of everything. sorry I'm an engineer and absolutly apprecciate what had to go into designing this room. Damn rich bastards though wasting this kind of money.

Damn, you can make your own movie with that 6 million bucks.

I bet the guy had the time of his life buying and setting up all this gear, probably more enjoyment than actually using it. You just know you're about to read something seriously hardcore when it starts out with "sitting on a solid 16" reinforced concrete foundation, itself isolated on 4 - 156' solid steel girders all the way down to bedrock". Wow.

All you "audiophiles" are full of shit and just want to name check various audio/video equipment that you probably don't even have.

You know you would suck this guy's dick for a chance to have half this system.

Now put down your AV magazine and go cry into your JVC boombox.

@PB&J: Weak argument. If you want to call altruism into the argument, virtually every single post on this site is a waste of time, energy and/or money better spent saving the lives of starving or ill children. Yours, mine, and everyone else's comments included.

@Amex: Yeah, I'm the cheese dick that built this, right after I first hand saved 300 starving African children.

@damn luddites: Your weakest comeback to date, you can do better.. I believe in you *cue Journey's 'Don't Stop Believin'*

What an ass hat! I mean, I love cool shit and taking things to the extreme, but this guy makes me seriously ill. I'm going to go to bed hungry tonight to tribute the billions starving in the world while this AAASSSSSS!!!!!...... HHHHHHAAAAAATTT!!!!..... Jerks off to his Stonehenge of ass-hat speakers.

#29...you can make a movie for less than $6Million...it's called Napoelon Dynamite.

@33: You talkin' to me?

One day, I will live in a den of high technology akin to that found in the Batcave. This setup will be considered.

@ nrgspike - i laugh.

You paid $6 mill for that setup. When I originally sold all that equipment to your supplier it was only worth 100k lol

Mick

In mine country I just have had email install. many people very hungry in my country. I see this and it make me very sad much money could save many of me and my people. why people like this way

Hi Jeremy, I have been looking at your setup with total awe and amazement and am very very very envious but unfortunately I was born with only one ear and so I cannot wear headphones and to benefit from that full true surround experience I would have to spin around in 360 degree circles very quickly making me feel very sick and as I have a rare skin condition and start to blister in the sunlight I cannot go to amusement parks either so I live a very sheltered life, please please please can I come round and see it, got to go my mum just called so its back to the basement for me

Hi Jeremy.

If you had not bought all your amazing setup and kept the money you could have called yourself the 6 Million dollar man. Well anyway its a Bionic effort and Austin-tatious result. Good work old chap.

I have a room like this, too, but it's much much cheaper. It's just an empty room where I masturbate into a cup while people are waiting for pie to cool.

So this is what a millionaire virgin's house looks like

I think the reason they run kids shows is because they're rendered, you get a real high quality image to show off the projector/screen, compared to a film where you've had to worry about the film stock or what CCD was used and so on.

Anyone who can spend $6 million on a home theatre, has a LOT more than that lying around.

Now, to claim that this person is the cause of starving people in the world or at least, by inaction, allowed people to starve, is silly. You have the power, as a collective lower-middle class, to save just as many lives. But you want to have a car, or a faster computer, too. We're all guilty.

wow if the dog peeded on the wire cable... ur screwed D:

If all i had to do to get a setup like that was to push a button and i knew the trade off was going to be that 300 africans starve... i might push it twice.

What a retarded setup. Dude- for that tiny little room all of that gear is 1000000% overkill. Not too mention the aesthetics look like absolute hell. Any home theater design company could do such a nicer looking and sound job for 1/50th the price. The only sound he'll be hearing from guys like George Lucas is laughter.

A cable is unplugged.

You're screwed.

Damn rich people!

This kind of waste is intolerable.

He bought equipment that no movies max the resolution or sound quality for so what the hell was the point? That kind of Equipment serves a purpose but not for a home theater. This is ONLY wasteful and arrogant. Since he is a producer, he has to know exactly how arrogant it was. Meanwhile we work our ass off in the rain and sun for minimum wage. $5000 would solve all of my problems, and I can't work hard enough to solve them. I barely buy beyond what I use to go to school and work. Its hard just to live, and I make good grades.

I hope I never run into this guy.

Sure he packed a lot of speakers in a room. Guess he's ready for Dolby 1700.1 surround on his bluerays. I'm sure it sounds good, and I'm sure the picture quality is nice. But damn dude, a retarded monkey could do a better job with the aesthetics. $6m and he couldn't hire a interior designer or a carpenter? Guess money can't buy class or taste.

Umm, the first pic has Ratatouille filling what looks like the 16:9 screen. Isn't Ratatouille in 2.31:1?

I cant even imagine the sound from those two huge speaker :)

Wow the home theatre. I am using sony as my voice blaster. But tis is awesome and fantastic.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

wow. just wow at the arrogance of 90% of these comments.
a) if he has 6 mill to blow on his own home theatre then it proves he's got a hell of a lot more.

b) he's a music engineer and producer, yet you 'hobbyists' are trying to state you know more and would have done a better job? - if this was the case you'd be more successful than he, with more money to blow, but alas by having the time to post on here whinging, kind of proves that it isn't the case, you're not successful music engineers/producers with this much money, and simply have major jealousy issues.

c) whos to say he doesn't give thousands upon thousands of dollars to charity etc. - have you seen what richard branson has? are you abusing him for what he's bought??

you're all jokes, he's successful, has the money, wants to blow it on something just 'cause he can. and well done. he's clearly worked hard.
and remember, he's the music engineer, bets on him having a bigger clue than you 'hobbyists'
you people are just jealous have got a 'chip on your shoulder' for anyone with more money than you. pathetic.

lol ps3, shoulda got a 360

I really appreciate your help.Thank you very much!

THIS GUY JEREMY IS THE BIGGEST DEAD BEAT KNOWN TO MAN .. THIS GUY HAS A 6 MILLION DOLLAR HOME THEATER AND CANT EVEN PAY HIS BILLS... WHAT A LOSER..YOU WOULD THINK AFTER HAVING ALL THIS JUNK HE COULD PAY A CREDIT CARD.. GOOD JOB JEREMY YOUR A REAL PEICE OF WORK.. HAVE FUN LIVING UNDER YOUR HOME THEATER WHEN YOUR HOUSE GOES TO FORECLOSER .. YOUR A PEICE OF DIRT BY THE WAY JUST INCASE YOU DIDNT KNOW.. AND YOUR WIFES FAMILY REALLY LOVES GETTING COLLECTION CALLS BY THE WAY...

Well, my own 20000$ system certainly pales in comparison. But is it better than mine when it comes to watching movies? I'm not so sure. Let me explain.
Picture: Upscaling will only help SD material look better on HD, it will not make it HD. Watching a DVD or a Laserdisc on that huge screen must be an awful experience. A 2016p projector, what for? Bluray is 1080p, it makes no sense. With all that money, the first thing I would get would be a real 35mm movie projector. Yet the one thing that actually would bring the cinema into your home is absent, why?
Sound: Oh, where to begin. Using class A and Tube amps for a movie soundtrack? Do you get pneumonia from your home theater? Those things will get really hot, and then you'll have to use lots of aircondition. They are also totally unnessasary. When watching a movie about 60% of your attention will be on the picture and 40% on the sound. There is no way you'll be able to tell the difference if you had used IcePower amps instead. Speakers are nice, but complete overkill for the rear channels.
Snake Oil: Feet of Silence, nuff said.

Greetings:

I am the creator and designer of an entirely new level of Ultimate Home Theaters in the world - The Kipnis Studio Standard (KSS) - including the copyrighted Ciné Beta design seen above.

With between 8.8 - 12.12 channels of sound, and composed of as many as 16 subwoofers, 96 speaker drivers, and a video resolution more than four times that of Full HD (1080P); 4K = 10 Megapixels: this is the most immersive Home Theater experience one can own, today and tomorrow.

Accommodated within dedicated, custom built double height rooms 28.5 x 36 feet in size and larger, a 64,000+ watt Surround Sound System fills the space with sound that’s truly worthy of worship. Capable of entertaining anywhere from between 10 - 100 people at a time, the KSS Ciné Beta Home Theater System lies in the middle of a range of Home Theater design and integration solutions that gets even more extravagant with the KSS Ciné Alpha Stadium system.

For those with more modest tastes and budget, but also and equally as much desire for Ultimate Picture and Sound presentation quality, Ciné Gamma and even a Ciné Delta Home Theater System design is available starting at a mere $10,000. No matter what your requirements are, the Kipnis Studio Standard (KSS) will create the most immersive, enjoyable, and memorable media experience possible - even in 3D!

Please come to our website and then send us an email with your Home Theater specifications. You will be amazed at what we can do!

Cheers -

Jeremy
