6 million dollars for something that seats 3 people?

Is there such a thing as too many speakers?

I'd rather spend 6 million on something else. Whatever happened to just going for dinner and a movie?

While the equipment is impressive on its own, this is perhaps the worst example of how to spend $6M! For that amount, you can build a full size theater, not something seats 3 and feels more sterile than a laboratory.

gr8! I'll have one but only if you can install it on my 3billion dollar yacht....

really... I agree, a waste of money!

I hope they spent some of that money on the air conditioning system. Sitting in the middle of all of those amps must be damn hot!

Just a quick glance at the room, but it doesn't look acoustically sound for a surround sound set up. The racks on the sidewalls, the curved set up of the speakers, the proportions of the room (the ceiling appears way too high compared with the length of the room), etc.

This looks to be a more money than brains kind of thing.

A waste of money? Yeah, for those of us who have little, but obviously, this guy has money to spend, so more power to him!!! It's his disposable income.

Whatever happened to manners in shared public spaces? Every time I've gone to the movies, some rude people end up ruining the experience for others. What's up with all the loud talking nonsense on your phone?

I'm impressed, but also skeptical: this equipement is awsome, but if it's to watch your average mass-produced DVD, I'm not sure it's worth it. I mean: the DVD's definition and quality is so bad compared to what this theater can produce... isn't it like watching a very, very old cartoon on a high definition screen ?

Still, the room is clean and neat. I'm not a fan of LED's blue light, but if you are, this is definitely the way to go. And it lacks a pop corn vending machine :-)

I've seen this before. I honestly don't like it. All the lights and gee-gaws detract from the point: full immersion in a movie.

I much prefer the streamlined theaters that hid the speakers and amps and leave the focus only on the screen.

This looks like the set of who wants to be a millionaire or some other cheesy television show. I agree with the other posters that the equipment is great, but it is so ridiculous to spend 6 million dollars on everything else but then just put in a 3 seat leather couch and a rinky dink coffee table in the middle of the room. You can't even get seats that recline? Cup holders? It doesn't even look like a place I would want to hang out. I mean, I would just feel uncomfortable encircled with a million gadgets. Speakers that would blast the clothes off people are all good and well, but this is ovvvvv-erkill.

Haha people complain too much. its all perspective. I'm sure there is some beggar out there clamouring about how we wasted a thousand whole clams on a computer.

But I agree with apartment therapy. thats a sweet set up.

The subwoofers and the tweeters allow this home theater to accomplish the deepest bass (10 hertz) and the most extreme high-frequency range (100 kilohertz).

I am guessing this is a mistake. Humans do not hear frequencies above 20kHz (lower than that as we age). Even if there are tweeters capable of producing these super high frequencies, no one can hear them, and they won't be present in soundtracks or music.

The 4K resolution projector is very forward-thinking. I wonder what his source video is.

Greetings:

I am the creator and designer of an entirely new level of Ultimate Home Theaters in the world - The Kipnis Studio Standard (KSS) - including the copyrighted Ciné Beta design seen above.

With between 8.8 - 12.12 channels of sound, and composed of as many as 16 subwoofers, 96 speaker drivers, and a video resolution more than four times that of Full HD (1080P); 4K = 10 Megapixels: this is the most immersive Home Theater experience one can own, today and tomorrow.

Accommodated within dedicated, custom built double height rooms 28.5 x 36 feet in size and larger, a 64,000 watt Surround Sound System fills the space with sound that’s truly worthy of worship. Capable of entertaining anywhere from between 10 - 100 people at a time, the KSS Ciné Beta Home Theater System lies in the middle of a range of Home Theater design and integration solutions that gets even more extravagant with the KSS Ciné Alpha Stadium system.

For those with more modest tastes and budget, but also and equally as much desire for Ultimate Picture and Sound presentation quality, Ciné Gamma and even a Ciné Delta Home Theater System design is available starting at a mere $10,000. No matter what your requirements are, the Kipnis Studio Standard (KSS) will create the most immersive, enjoyable, and memorable media experience possible - even in 3D!

Please come to our website and then send us an email with your Home Theater specifications. You will be amazed at what we can do!
