I don't think it's the speakers that are silly.

You could try to look a bit more excited by the fact that you're standing next to $190k worth of speaker :lol:

Nice archetecture of that place. And how can I leave out the badass poses ;)

I'm suprised there isn't a chair in the middle as a point where all frequencies hit at the same time

There are chairs in the room; custom-designed bench chairs made to resemble the seats in a Rolls ... 2nd pic is taken from the sweet spot; there's another, equally sick system on the other side of the room. And that's just 1 room out of 10 that we have here!!
