Cool my BD set up versus the 6 millions dollars set up!

I am have great interest in home theater set up, it is my life long dream to someday to own such a thing.
i recently saw the set up of this guy in a magazine, i hear great thing, i hear it's cost him 6 millions of american dollars.
I do not have that much amount of money, not in cash anyhow.

what i have here is 500 american dollars. i will try my best to re-create and hopefully go beyond the 6 millions of american dollars. It is not in my intention of versus such an expensive set up, ... but rest assure, my set up will look and sound just as good if not better.

Here is the 6 million of american dollars


He have many speakers! but no blu-ray!

Here is my set up, i have hear great thing about blu-ray 1080p. I went out to buy the best blu-ray player there is ...a Playstation Three!
I did not know that it's cost 400 dollars, my budget is greatly reduce from 500 dollars to 75 bucks. They made me pay tax at the store, i tried to agrue that i don't owe Sam any money at all, and that he isn't my uncle. I don't even have an uncle!. But at the end, they made me pay tax anyway....i failed.
with 75 dollar left to finish my dream home theater set up, i then have no choice but to finish my shopping at the local salvation army.
lucky me! i found great deal!
2 surround sound yamaha speaker, COME WITH WIRES! the worker there told me that this speaker throw the sound around the room, creating the surround effect, and that i don't reallyneed anymore than 2 speakers for my set up.
I also bought a huge AUDIOBARN subwoofer! it is for automobile but i am very sure that i would work just as the same if not better! again, IT'S COME WITH FREE SPEAKER WIRE! EXELENT DEAL!
at last, i spent the rest of my money on the big screen 9 inches tv. This is a great steal and it's does 1080p easilly he told me. I WAS ESTATIC! it was 9 inches! that is longer than my thing! ...

sHOPPING IS DONE!
Here is my set up...the picture does not do it justice, my set up look alot sweeter in real life. The sound is blew me away! i hook them all up on my receiver that i already have at home.

as you can see, i build a little thing called basetrap in the corner of the subwoofer, it is very nice!

Thanks you for looking at my set up, you can stop droolin now.
Which set up do you think is better?
if you lives in the michigan area, you are welcome to come see demo of my theater. to give you more inspiration for the future if you are to build one of your own.

Yours probably sounds better too, since you actually got a wire attached to your speaker...

He's got one of those HD LD players too? Swa-eeeeet! Those LD players were for the MUSE HDTV's they had in Japan back in the '90's. It was a 1125 line (1035i active lines) but it was all in analog and when the camera pans, it can lose up to 50% of it's resolution, but it was a great technical achievment when it was first realeased. I wonder, what kind of cable did the Japanese use when connecting the MUSE player to their MUSE TV, seeing that there was no such thing as HDMI or even DVI back then.

That is hilarious!!!

The subwoofer looks like it's worth more than the rest of the picture combined (desk and blinds included ).

The best thing about the 6 million set up is the tiny little couch directly in the middle. It's all about you!!! I would love to play PS3 on that thing!!!!
