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.

That was a very interesting video but not for the reasons I thought it would be. I think this is the most extreme example I've ever seen of a system that was selected and installed for pride of ownership rather than sound quality. At anything above very quiet volumes it must sound terrible. But man, it sure looks cool!

This system looks like it has no place in that room.  Bet the guy never gets above 70db!  What a waste.....conspicuous waste at that!

First thing I thought about was how neighbors would not allow for loud listening. I sound proofed my dedicated room so I can listen as loud as I'd like.

Great video.  Always love seeing how the Uber rich people live.  I would love to hear it in person!

Sub optimal room size, but that is a very common problem for New Yorkers. Even the wealthy. That said, it's a beautifully constructed system and despite limitations in the acoustics, I bet it sounds fantastic.
