Description

Gaku-on's for rear channels...bi-amped configuration. Availability of Kharma's questionable...they recommend a "subterranean listening environment." Helluva home theater though. So what is it, probably the worst sounding, overdone system ever, or the college educations of a 20 high school kids?

I think it's awesome! I don't know if spending that kind of money for home audio really makes that kind of difference. But, I know when I went from a JBL/Carver/Parasound system to a Dunlavy/Pass Labs/Theta Digital system it was an incredible difference. I sure would love to hear it. You know you can buy a Vette and get great performance for the money. But, every increment of greater performance costs expotentially more money......then you end up with the Saleen S7. So, you've got my vote......Your system is a Saleen S7 for the home!!!!!

From what I know about certain products in your line up, you may experience synergy issues. I can see an excellent 2 channel stereo system or a very nice home theatre. Not both.
From an overall cost standpoint, wouldn't it be nice to be able to throw money at a system and know it's gong to sound excellent? The Audio Notes are beautiful sounding amps, just not in that system. Why waste that kind of $ on the rears? Please foregive the critique, but I spent more than I should've with my last system and all the wishing in the world could't change the sound. It was an excellent example of trying to impress over getting the best and most emotionally satisfying musical performance. In the end my friends $20,000.00 system raised the goose bumps and mine raised the national debt. I'm a little closer to a truely synergistic system with where I am now, although I would like to find tubes to handle speakers like my current SS. Lets face it. Sound talks and over spending(B.S.) walks.
