enjoy..
I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    My favorite quote:

    "Rest easy audiophiles, this theater is THX certified":D

    I guess I will be able to sleep better tonight:p


    Pretty cool stuff... must cost a fortune
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Star Wars Theme in the Home would Not pass the WAF or the HAF.

    Kinda nice but not my cup-o-tea.

    If I had that much to blow, I could spend it better.

    The last SW movie was so boing I could not sit through it.

    I'm picturing someone along the lines of "Comic Book Guy" from The Simpsons.

    Seriously, the amount of money sunk into that must be incredible. I've read about the trend towards "media rooms" in modern houses (along with gyms, etc) but this is rediculous.

    I like it a lot.. we cant assume that just because he's spent a fortune on it, that he doesnt use it more than once a week... nor does he not know his audio. He's just like any one of us.

    To assume otherwise is a little bit presumptive of us.

    nice lay out but not my cup of tea either. I have seen setups way more simple than this and they are just as gorgeous if not more. The home itself is awesome though.
    Shoot the jumper.....................BALLIN.............!!!!!

    People with money like that generally bust their asses 24x7. Give them credit that he freakin built an awesome setup instead of some Bose surround system. The guys probably some exec at M$ will hundreds of millions in stock and really all he is at heart is a computer geek. Right place at the right time.
