What an excessive waste of cash.]]>Feb 6th 2008 4:54PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/Feb 6th 2008 5:10PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/
For a company that wants to sell £3million home entertainment systems, their website hardly reflects professionalism or luxury, it looks like it's been made in FrontPage. ]]>Feb 6th 2008 5:11PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/Feb 6th 2008 5:51PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/I worked for a vfx company on a 3D movie, we did have a setup with TWO digital cinema projectors (2K, not 4K, but in this class you pay more for light output than for definition), a much larger screen (30 ft wide) and id didn't cost a tenth of this absurdity.
Reading the linked article, I discovered the existence of MUSE-enabled (Hi-Vision, that is the old Japanese HDTV) LD players by Pioneer. For the love of curiosities and dead formats (and because LD was my first experience in real home theater), I wouldn't mind having one. ]]>Feb 6th 2008 6:13PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/
Professional mastering theaters don't cost this much. Unless he is actually pouring the concrete and making the facility this is pointless.

4k projector is $100k or so retail
1k$ bd player
.2k$ hd dvd player
10k$ screen 25'
10k$ cables
2k$ room lighting system
10k$ chairs seats and couches
25k$ room treatment, remodeling the room to make sounds and video pretty.
MAYBE 500-1000k for a full on thx theatre setup for a full size theatre.
realistically 200k
20k$ controls and intergration
20% profit and installation cost

So in reality this level of set up for a much bigger room would be 450k with a hefty profit on top.


The retard also set up TUBE amps in front of giant woofers. Tubes are vibration sensitive. His setup would be fine with solid state amps just not with tubes.

He spent $$ for the sake of spending it and didn't make the setup as Optimum as it should be for the cash spent.]]>Feb 6th 2008 8:34PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/If you look through his website, you'll find that those stands under the tube amps are vibration isolators. but as far as the vibrations that come through the air - yah i dunno how he compensates for that.]]>Feb 13th 2008 7:04PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/

If I ever spent anywhere near that much money on a home theater, I'd want to be able to enjoy it with a larger group of friends than one 3-seat couch will accommodate.]]>Feb 6th 2008 6:28PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/Feb 6th 2008 6:30PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/Feb 7th 2008 10:40AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/Feb 6th 2008 6:41PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/

Grabbing everything exotic and placing them together is a pretty easy trick. Doesn't impress me. It's a lot more difficult to design for the masses. ]]>Feb 7th 2008 1:27AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/Feb 7th 2008 7:39AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/Feb 7th 2008 12:44PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/02/06/a-look-around-the-6-million-kipnis-studio-standard-home-theater/http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=640853
