We already caught their 2.1 channel model back at the CEDIA show in September. This time however, Sharp gets official with their new 7.1 Blu-ray in a box home theater kit. The BD-MPC70 pumps 175W across a full 7.1 channels of 8-ohm phallus with playback support for single-layer BD-R/RE media in addition to DVD video, DVD±R/RW, DVD-RAM, music CDs, and CD-RW/-R discs. It delivers a 12bit/148.5MHz video DAC and 24bit/192kHz audio DAC with a healthy smattering of the ol' in and outs including 2x digital and 2x analog audio inputs and 1080p video output over HDMI. Available June 25th in Japan for ¥1,050,000 or about $8,779 whenever these come Stateside.

That is not worth $9,000. For $9k you can get the pearl, a screen to shoot it on, the BDP-S1 to feed it 1080p/24 and still have money left over for a decent audio system.

maybe they messed up and put a extra -zero- on there. maybe its $900

It looks like a KEF system to me, it may actually be $9000. The subs look identical.

I would expect Sharp to be able to sell more than just a few systems at that price in Japan. I know a fairly ordinary Japanese guy that five years ago bought a 50 or 60 inch plasma TV for that amount. However, his wife was not happy about it...

that price sounds right but to the speakers sound like the price lol i paid 7 large for a pair of martin logans 10 years ago worth every penny

Nine grand!?!?! Uh, if I purchased that system in a box, my GF would put me in a box.
