    I'm not impressed.

    Although that is a good deal of McIntosh power.

    That dude has too much money.

    He needs to give it to me.

    I know what to do with it.

    I'd say I have seen 2 GREAT "HT" rooms:

    In college I worked with a company doing the accoustic treatments on the Skywalker ranch and the other was in Lawrance Kasden's house.
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    Looks like this is the guy.

    Lawrence Kasdan

    director, screenwriter, producer
    Born: 1/14/1949
    Birthplace: Miami Beach, Florida

    Lawrence Kasdan earned a master's degree in education and worked as an advertising copywriter before selling his first movie script, The Bodyguard, in 1976 (it was finally produced in 1992 as a vehicle for Whitney Houston). His lucrative screenwriting career, which included work on such mega-hits as The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), allowed him to pursue his dreams of directing. He raised temperatures with his directorial debut, Body Heat (1981) and went on to write, direct, and produce numerous films, including the Academy Award-nominated films The Big Chill (1983) and Accidental Tourist (1988; co-scripted with Anne Tyler).
