Man there are some Klipch marks on this board. I have nothing against them, I actually have the Quintet II set up in my bedroom, but for a dream system you wouldnt pick something else? Def Techs, B&W, Paradigm? I am no expert, but I would think there are better systems out there under the 30k range...

If you had your mind set on Klipch, wouldnt you pick the THX Ultra2 System? IT seems like the ultimate home theater set up from them IMO...

If I were going for "Dream System" I would start by looking here... They would kind of blow a little more than you 30k budget, but you did say dream! hehehttp://www.wilsonaudio.com/product/alexandria/

true the THX system is very nice... it would be a bit of overkill though for a 65" screen... also i happen to like klipsch a lot and the sound on the 83's is great and they have a timeless style... i can honestly say I would rather have that style of speaker over the link you posted any day on the basis of looks and having experienced them... for all i know those speakers dont sound good to my ear.

^^ This guy sounds like a real enthusiast.

'Then, he has maybe another $80,000 in just software, which includes 6,000 Blu-ray movies, CDs and DVDs.'

Yep. I sure would like to hear that HT once (and see of course).

Wow.. i understand this is a dream thread but I can't imagine ever owning a speaker system that costs $36,000 each... i mean those things would have to do much more than just play sound...

but i hear ya... Dream Big!
