$350,000 for the entire home theater is nothing. You can buy this beautiful WAVAC Audio Lab SH-833 monoblock amplifier for $350,000. For home theater, you need at least 5 of them: 5 x $350,000 = $1,750,000.

With 5 of these beauties, you don't need a TV/projector or speakers. You can just look at the amplifiers and enjoy them.

It is amazing how much one can spend on this stuff. And I worried about spending $1,800 for a Blu player

Again, gorgeous work. It's amazing what you can do with concrete. I always thought natural stone was the way to go for flooring, but I'll definitely have to consider an acid floor if we decide to build another house...

Actually, that's not my screen in the picture I posted earlier-- that's Wolfgang Meyer's home theater in Germany. I have a 10' scope screen in mine. My next will definitely be bigger though...

If that amp costs so much, why do you need five of them? You would think it could do everything at that price point.

Okay so I just added "Get Acid Stained Floors" to my list of things to get before I die. They are a thing of beauty in the pics, and I'm sure they look 10 times better in person.

They really do. A photo simply do not do an acid floor justice.

Here is a photo that did come out great

Perhaps rich people enjoy getting ripped off. Then rubbin it in everyones face that their home theater room costs more then your house. Even though they dont even have a projector for a complete HT experience.

While it is indeed beautiful, it won't be the best for a theater surface because of reflections. Also, it doesn't look like "home" to me. At least that's what I'll keep telling myself until I can afford it.
