Audiophile junkie - awesome vid about NYC million dollar system today


Audiophile junkie is one of the better YouTube audio guys despite having videos that seem too long at times.

Today he had a video highlighting 2 remarkable systems that was showcased inside a really nice townhouse in Greenwich Village New York City. Horn speakers, very high-end components and lots of Viva amplifiers were in the systems. A very comprehensive walk-through of the system. A worthwhile video to spend time with, highly recommend.

They did a nice job of building everything into the cabinet, nice woodwork, nice gear. But that’s all that’s nice.

I grew up with my parents having the old Altec voice of the theater speaker system, which at the time sounded nice, but they also had a big room for them to breathe. This $1M system is jammed in a cabinet so how are you going to get depth? Since you are practically in front of the speakers and the back wall is right behind you, you are going to have sound waves bouncing all around you, and they don’t have any sound treatment.

I would think these speakers would be better in a larger room and the speakers 1/3rd of the distance out into the room and your listening chair placed correctly away from the back wall
