IT SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE MY PC SPEAKERS
All the poverty in the world, and you have the mordacity to make aa video about a ONE MILLION DOLLAR hi-fi system. Shame on you.
Listen a super high end system…on your non-super high end device.
hmmmmmmmmm where is daaaa bassss
all snake oil $1.000.000 for all that crap you need a power station just turn it on and if it breaks than what spend a millon more.the best sound dose not cost that much.but if your buying art well it might be worth milions or scarp.baffel me with bull sh.t i think not.and im sure listing over the phone dose no good ethier.
Mouai, bon…., j’ai le même à la maison 🤣
You must be kidding. Terrible sound. It hurts my ears. My system beats it hands down.
Is it just me or does it sound like crap?
Put all this circus behind a black gauze curtain and compare it to Klipcsh La Scalas or Tannoy Canterburys’ even with cheap two tube pre and a nice quiet AB solid state power amp with a mid level Maranzt CD player behind the same gauze and I will bet listeners will prefer the much cheaper system.
It sounds exaclty like the computer where I´m listening to this.
I can make a tone arm out of a drumstick> wow, I made a engine mount out of your drum sticks too for my sevelor raft. Trolling motor mount. Nice use of the wood. Pretty amazing system. Sound is delicate . Very good through a iPad..
I appreciate your words but instead I wish to see the equipment meanwhile time you speaking thanks a lot
Sounds very distorted to me! I don’t know what you hear, but I wouldn’t spend a million bucks for this subprime sound experience!
It’s just a shame that all that gear can’t be tucked away behind that beautiful wall…
Well done on the details! Not sure, though, why custom made is automatically taken as a seal of quality d’ "extra ordinaire"; only because of the price tag? And yes, envy is part of this comment, too!!!
Why am I listening to this teenager with a sub $100 sound system on her computer tell me about a $1,000,000.00 system?
Play some pink floyd on it.
what a wonderful and exhilarating experience
$34k in my system .Tube amps – Mostly 80’s rock cd’s and local FM station.
Wtf did you record this with a USB mic? Sounds like shit.
Listening on 2020 iPad Pro and it’s sound soooooo good
Pussy girl not hi-fi
When listening to classical / symphony it is common to hear the pages turning. Like the violin guy softly turns his music page. And if you are 3 sheets to the wind, at home, you actually hear where the guy is seated at during recording. Yes, I’ll look over at a lamp in my living room. Occasionally are words in 60’s 70’s songs you didn’t know was there. Robert Plant says something you never heard in your car ever. Nothing in my home can be loose on a shelf if I play Great White.
It’s all bragging rights
I really like you, you know , you are so awesome!
How about you play some fucking music on it.
Si sente malissimo
Amazing system, nice job.
However, I would have liked the owner playing some real, everyday music that makes sense. Plenty of audiophile quality albums/artists
Funny to "listen" to a million dollar audio setup in the speaker of my Huawei
Homie why you no post
The man who sold these, now he is on vacation forever.
worst recording ever
It sounds shit
So seeing the hardware and equipment is pretty neat, so that’s pretty cool, but like… Unless you’re listening to this on like HD 660’s or something through a dac amp half the cost of the headphones, I doubt you’ll get close to the actual sound quality of the setup being shown. YouTube’s audio compression doesn’t help either lol.
dumb fact: Many tube amps use the EL34 tube. Meaning the base size and pins. EVH liked Ruby. "Rubies" He blew them all the time. Those were made in Russia for the war. They/ Ruby brand made zillions of them and are still available. Millions are warehoused. Good ones are about $100ea. My Cary V12 requires 12 duh. The "warm and crunchy" you get is sound is typical of Van Halen’s early amps. Audiophiles change around brands depending on taste. Your local garage band likely has EL34 of some brand or another. Guitar guys fully understand if you ask. They may have extras on them. Bands like AC/DC keep their gain and voltage high and may replace 20 tubes per night for the next show. Those amps above are a E280 tube?. Very similar.
Now play some lofi hip-hop on it. lol
hey bud for a million bucks why not invite the band?
Glad you experienced such a system. Thanks for this well documented video.
I don’t know what to say, my $200. sounds way better 🙂
Yeah but can it run Crysis
here i am, all proud of my krk setup. ha!
What a colossal waste of money. A fool and his money are easily parted. Hideous speakers and a typical audiophile shitty taste in music
start here 5:42
Excellent video. Subscribed!!
I still listen to Bach through my boombow and it still blows me away!!! $129.95 for the boombox.
Kids today,
Alexa play Wap on dads stereo……
i havent heard any other of your reviews but its impossible to make any judgement from a room recording of the system without first hearing the music directly so some kind of base line can be established as a reference. So i have no idea what im listening to. The first track dislpayed what sounds like a nasty low freq resonance of the room. I bet if you pink noised the spot where your dummy head was, there would be a big chunk of low end resonance. The second song sounded way too live. But its impossible to tell if it was the recording or the room. You MUST offer the original tracks directly first and then offer the room recording for there to be any type of subjective comparison of the system.
If i paid a million I’d get integrated bluetooth.

No matter how good it may sound, 1 Million is just nonsense.
