I've known some stereophiles in my time, but none that approach the level of these folks and these folks. Click on the pics for more in-depth info. The fun ranges from "I spent my weekly profits on Mark Levinson" to "I built these 18-foot-tall subwoofers myself."

Thanks for those links. The websites don't load all that nicely, too much java, but there are some cool systems in there. I actually don't mind looking at extreme systems. If high-end audio is your thing, go for it. I know I can't begin to afford most of it but it does provide for some good dreams.
