i'm sure the performance is outstanding, but the design is poor.
his money would've been better spent improving the architecture, materials and viewing stage. or rather, he should've invested a larger portion on theater design and acoustics.
I like that scale model Nemo ship he got but that system is bit much![]()
He's a fuckin self proclaimed couch potatoe. He prob. gonna die of a heart attack fack bastid.
And did he say his HD and bluray arent compatable with his system?! WTF![]()

a viewing room that only comfortably seats 3? a cluttered look where the hardware completely dominates the room?
i wonder what his cooling arrangement is, and what measures he took to address the ambient noise from his projector and components. could that explain his strange speaker placement?
@ people commenting on the design. its obvious this serves two purposes.
1. easy access.
2. quick reference to potential buyers.
remember he is trying to sell this idea and hook up not live in this space.
PEOPLE THIS IS NOT HIS LIVING ROOM. THIS IS HIS LABORATORY WHERE HE IS DESIGNING/CREATING A HIGH END EXPERIENCE FOR PROFIT.
lmfao at people commenting on 1 couch or his coffee table ....![]()
some people have no vision
yall looking at it wrong. yall either only read the title and looked at the pics or only skimmed through the article.
This guy is one of those people. Who the fuck is gonna spend all that money on a system when they can get a comparable one for 1/20th the cost. What the fuck could you possibly be watching that would even tap into this things full potential? This fat fuck is not being at all realistic when considering practical home theater VIEWING. This is like the guys that put speakers over every inch of the car. It's got 'WOW' factor that you could do it but only the people installing systems for shows/competitions will have any interest in owning some hellacious shit like that. He'll never recover the capital he invested in this shit, and I do mean SHIT!![]()
With a bit of luck, Kipnis will get to play the KSS for the likes of George Lucas, Peter Jackson, Steven Spielberg, and Martin Scorsese. And who knows—they each might be so thrilled, they'll buy one on the spot. That would be great, but I wonder out loud, "Would you have done all of this if you didn't hope to turn it into a commercial enterprise? Would you have done it just for yourself?" Without hesitating, Kipnis says, "Just to see what's possible? Yes, I would."
i read the article correctly.
i know this industry VERY well. i have seen better DESIGN (not necessarily performance) live in person as well as in trade journals.
the space itself is not accomodating to the purpose for which it was built: entertainment.
viewing? YES. listening? POSSIBLY.
i'll take his word for it that the performance is beyond OUTSTANDING. fine. but you have to understand that there are also people who take this sort of thing seriously, surpassing the equipment/hardware purchased. the amount of planning required BEFOREHAND is enormous. acoustic design of the room (shape of the walls, building materials, insulation) must be considered. functionality, integration of features, aesthetics (his setup is an eyesore), and logistics (as mentioned before, cooling and ambient sound) are all SERIOUS factors that could have been paid more attention.
We're talking amps that cost more than most economy sedans. They're excess in the realm of "I bought this just so I could I say how much I paid for it", but they're so cleeeeeean, man.
And for all those talking about a couch that only seats three.........what? You mad cause now you know he ain't inviting you over.
Everyone doesn't have their posse running through the house all day and night. Sheeeeeiiiiit, only seats three. If that shit was in my house, seating three would SEAT ONE TOO MANY.
they're mcintosh amps, and they're not quite as expensive as you suggest. i own 8 of them.
a few years ago after visiting the Mcintosh suite at CES, i knew i had to have them.
funny though, when i have guests over, almost 100% of the time they laugh at the tube look because IN THEIR MIND they have grown to believe that solid state amps are better.

obviously,Well, atleast he isn't black...
i was thinkin the same thing, shit is nice and all but that shit is cluttered, all of that shit or at least most of it should have been hidden, and for six mill, he could have done way betteri'm sure the performance is outstanding, but the design is poor.
