    Jolida w/ a Pro-Ject turntable is my guess.....
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    I'm always looking for stuff like that and I don't know how many movies I've seen Meridian loudspeakers in to boot. It's a pet peeve.

    Is that what those are, Meridian? I wondered that when I saw the movie.

    And of course Jolida! I knew it looked so familiar, but I couldn't figure it out.

    Audiobliss, no....I was just saying that I've seen Meridian loudspeakers in multiple movies. It's totally unrelated.

    The first time I heard of Meridian was at a friend of a friend's house. He was a High End HT sales/installer type and had a 100K+ Demo HT room in his house. It had all Meridian bookshelf surrounds and two monster Atlantic Tech subs. He turned to me as though I was a Neanderthal when I asked about 'Meridian'. To tell you the truth, although the set up was flawless I was 'not' blown away by the overpriced Meridians--they were OK but I've heard Polk RTI-A systems that were as good or that I preferred. We took in "There Will be Blood" on a 100"+ screen and a top of the line Sony projection system on a Sony ES BDP. Don't remember what the amplification was but there has a spacious dedicated amp room complete with wiring and circuit boxes!

    Oh well...haven't seen this film but I do now own one of those Jolida integrateds--nice for the coin.
