Whoa! What A System!

[David Meek]

I was fumbling around over at Audiogon and came across this picture. A Rockport Sirius 3, Kharma Exquisite speakers, Tenor Audio monoblocks. . . . Wow! 8O

[Patt]

That is simply unbelievable isnt it? A huge dedicated listening room! :E Whoever sits in that chair must feel like they are floating in the air with the notes of the music.

[gd]

This guy -- I think we can safely assume it's a male -- clearly knows how to live!

Be careful gd you could be wrong .

Wow, that is a really nice setup :E .

No HT though, just dedicated 2 Channel.

Why can't I find a room like that attached to a house for sale. You know. "Sacrifice, must sale due to job transfer". 28 X 42 listening room, with accoustic treatmants out the ying yang. lol.

Nice setup. Something about thsoe speakers. I love the look. Even if they do weigh what, like a 1000 pounds or so?

Lex

[Kevin P]

So true Lex.

The owner is most likely male, and single as well.

[Bam!]

Yup that room always gets a ton of attention

It has the Goldmund TT, 75000$

Those speakers are 75000$

The ceiling has diffusers that are adjustable

He has 5000 vinyls and I forget but I think something like 15000 cds.

Pretty sweet!

[Kevin P]

Yipes, his CD collection alone is worth more than I am! 8O

[Lex]

I believe that's what they call conspicuous consumption. But he be livin' live or loud, that's for sure.

But that 50.00 end table sure looks out of place.

Lex

[David Meek]

Bammer, that turntable is the Rockport Sirius - king of all TTs! You may bow. . . . :B

[aud19]

Very Nice! :E

[Clive]

But that 50.00 end table sure looks out of place.

Lex

Lex it is impotant to get your facts before post. That end table is actually $59.99 :lol:

Seriously though, I could see myself in that chair for hours on end no matter the cost of that table. One wicked setup for one person at a time!

[Kevin P]

Lex it is impotant to get your facts before post. That end table is actually $59.99 :lol:

Maybe he got the table on sale. :lol:

Did someone say those speakers weigh 1000 pounds each!? That would require some serious floor reinforcement, or the floor is a cement slab.

[PewterTA]

*YAWN* :Z

I've got three rooms just like that.

:rofl:

That would be an awesome room to listen to stuff in. Though I'd expand the sweet stop to allow two people to enjoy. :T

Makes me sad thinking about all the things I'll never have/experience. :cry:

Oh well, at least I get to see pictures of what I'm missing out on! ha ha.

[aud19]

Naah 3 people Pewter That way the you can still sit in the middle in the sweet, sweet spot and the people on the outside 2 seats are gorgeous bi-sexual twins :lol:

[Shane Martin]

The guy is married.

His name is Mike Lavigne and he hangs out at AVS alot in the high end forum.

Cheap skate.
:M

Come back when you are serious about music.

[Nick M]

LOL!

If you look to the extreme left you can see floor to ceiling CDs... :rofl:

I was kidding! :lol: :

[Bam!]

Here's the ceiling that I was talkin' 'bout

[gd]

The guy is married.

Then he must have two houses... His and Hers homes. :??

Wonder what the dedicated HT room looks like.

That reminds me... gotta go buy a lotto ticket.

[aud19]

Steve!

I put the extra : in just for you :B

[whoaru99]

Who was it that said cocaine is God's way of saying you have too much money? I think whoever it was was wrong, it must be elaborate stereo setups....

[EAmin]

AMAZING setup!

Speaking of furniture, I'm looking for similar chairs that I can use in a 2-channel listening area that I'm building. I'm looking for reclining chairs that aren't as big and bulky as normal home theater seats. Very similar to these as they don't look like they take much space. Hopefully, it can be something that looks nice as they'd be going into a living room. Wondering if you have ideas. Feel free to PM me. Thanks much!

[Patt]

The chair looks very similar to what I've seen in a Scandinavian (?spelling?) furniture store. All their furniture has a sleek contemporary look to it.

Man....I'd like to hear that system just once.

[whoaru99]

I'd like to hear it too; I think.

On the other hand, maybe not...

[RobP]

with a system like that you wouldnt need a chair, you could just float crosslegged like some sherpa in the sound.

[Shane Martin]

Eamin,
I'd look at Ekornes loungers. Those are awesome.

Then he must have two houses... His and Hers homes.

Actually this was a barn. So yeah techinically.

[Rolex]

I've heard the upgrade to that system. Same monoblocks, only upgraded enigma speakers (115K for the pair). I believe those exact speakers are the ones that Tenor used to voice their amplifiers with.

Mike Lavigne

Hi all,

Just came across this thread and thought I'd share a bit more information with regard to Mike, his equipment and his partners in crime so to speak.

He is a contributor with the excellent online magazine:

https://www.positive-feedback.com

Also, the staff page is most excellent - http://www.positive-feedback.com/staff.htm

More of Mike's equipment there, and lots more besides, from uber high to entry.

Check out www.6moons.com also - another favourite 'audiophile' site of mine.

It was the the reviews of Kharma speakers on Positive Feedback that prompted me to investigte them further and eventually purchace a pair of Kharma Exqusite Midis. Nirvana.

Vincent.

[audioqueso]

Isn't this kind part of this forum? Or maybe some other one cause I've this picture along with the construction of that room. I remember the middle part being flat originally.

[Shane Martin]

It's quite funny he doesn't even have the Kharmas any more. He's move on to Von Schweikerts.

[Alloroc]

Didn't know that.....

Interestigly, I've listened the Von Schweikerts VR11s and well,
it was... emotional I suppose!

Vincent.

[Shane Martin]

Here is his current config:

[Herbonbay]

Certainly put my hemming and hawing over the price of a new Krell Amp into perspective doesn't it ?

[Joey_V]

As always, Lavigne knows how to truly pimp out an audio escape. I hope to one day have 1/10 of what he has in there.

[bleeding ears]

From the looks of this system this guy has some serious problems.

Eg Like what the hell is he going to upgrade to? LOl

I wonder if a different chair and table will add anything to the sound, because thats about all he has left to upgrade.

Or perhaps a new rug? that $15 indian rug may be too small.

I bet he can hear an ant fart with those speakers. LOL :lol:

[Alloroc]

I dream of Kharma's Grand Exquisites.......
