I was blown away when I went to the system demo at CEDIA (only in Indy).

Of course the system comes with a hefty price tag, right around $10G. The price doesn't inclue a receiver/amp.

What's the spec for your dream system? Do you own it now or is it still your "dream" system?

If you were "blown away" by the Klipsch demo at CEDIA last year, you should have checked out the Runco/Krell room. We had to wait like 45 minutes to get in, but god was it worth it. I used to be a Klipsch dealer and have installed many flagship systems (RF-7 fronts, RC-7 center, RS-7 surrounds and dual RSW-15 subs...) and believe you me... that Krell setup literally humbled anything I have ever heard from Klipsch. The speakers used in the front were the LAT-1's and those alone are $37,500. There were Krell Master Reference electronics used all the way around. The total sound system cost was probably well over $200,000. Add in a flagship Runco projector and room treatment. And oh yeah, some pretty scary motion simulators from D-Box. Their system sells for $20,000 and includes 4 acutators and a controller. There were 2 acutators in each seat, and each can produce up to 2 G's of force. There were 16 chairs in the room. It was literally like nothing I have ever heard before.

If I were to build my dream system, I would go all Meridian. I'd do a pair of DSP7000's up front, a DSP5500HC center, and DSP33's for rears. For electronics I would probably do a G98 DVD-Audio transport and a G68 processor.

My dream system has Acousic Energy Evo-series speakers:

I own two Evo 1's, so stil need a few more to complete.

I'd want the Marantz DV7600 DVD player, with the Marantz MM9360 power amplifier.

I wished I had $200G to burn but I don't, most of us don't anyway. I guess somewhere around $10G to $15G is possible, after I have paid off half of our mortgage that is.

Good call, a most attainable dream... I'm hoping to do that eventually myself, though I'd probably go for non-evo since they're dirt cheap on ebay.
