    I can't imagine why it would take 600lbs. to attain that wattage, and there is no way they will deliver anywhere near 16,000, or even 8,000 watts from a 20 amp circuit. I certainly wouldn't want those in my living room.

    im guessing you would have to have a few 40 amp dedicated lines. and at $150,000 who can afford it

    Surrounds.......Polk LSi7 (Gloss Black - wood sides removed and crossovers upgraded)
    Subwoofers.....SVS 25-31 CS+ and PC+ (both 20hz tune)
    Pre\Pro...........NAD T163 (Modded with LM4562 opamps)

    You could power your house if it ever loses power. Just plug it into a generator and go from there...

    Or a Hybrid car...

    Or... a welding arc....

    The uses are endless.

    No seriously, what type of speakers will do justice to these monsters?

    Wilson Audio X2?

    German Physiks?

    I am surprised they didnt have the CAT MBX goldrush speakers listed in that list. If I recall correctly they were more than a mill a pair 5-6 years ago? and were true monsters weighing in at over a ton. If anyone has a pic post it.:)

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    Don't the new powerhouse Krell amps come with modded flux capacitors?

    I'm almost certain Doc Brown designed these krell rma amps himself. . . after he slipped in the bathroom and hit his head on the sink.

    I think in a pinch those could run the warp generators on the Enterprise.

    "I'm givin her all she's got capt'n, she can't take much more" in my best Scotty voice.

    Nice statement pieces but pretty impractical for the general audio geek.

    Yep, but be sure to use an AVR as a pre/pro!!!!!
