Что делают люди, желающие организовать личный домашний кинотеатр? Правильно - отводят для этой цели отдельную комнату и все рассчитывают, после чего устанавливается все необходимое оборудование. Некоторые еще стилизуют помещение под традиционный зал кинотеатра, но это как-то банально.
Но самый показательный, можно даже сказать, шокирующий, пример аудиофетишизма - это домашний кинотеатр меломана и звукоинженера Джереми Кипниса (Jeremy Kipnis). Полная стоимость "железа" и всего необходимого составила (держите челюсть!) $6 млн. Давайте посмотрим на кое-что из установленного оборудования:
- Проектор Sony SRX-S110;
- Экран Stewart 18-by-10-foot Snowmatte 1.0 Gain Laboratory-Grade Motion Picture Screen;
- Blu-Ray плеер Sony BDP-S1;
- Sony PlayStation; 3
- HD-DVD плеер Toshiba HD-XA1;
- D-VHS-рекордер JVC HMDH-5U;
- Блок жестких дисков SATA на 72 часа HDTV-видео;
- Mark Levinson Reference N°33 и N°33H;
- Pioneer HLD-X0;
- Theta Digital Generation VIII 32-bit 8x (13);
- Mark Levinson N° 33h (2);
- McIntosh MC-2102 (30);
- Crown Macro Reference Gold Amplifiers (3);
- Сабвфуверы Snell 1800 THX (16);
- "Башни" Snell THX (8);
- Твиттеры MuRata ES103A (10);
- Колонки центрального канала Snell THX LCR-2800 (3).
Плюс ко всему этому - бесконечная коллекция фильмов и музыки, занимающая несколько шкафов в этой же комнате. Видимо, просмотр фильма в таком "зале мечты" будет уникальным опытом, который запомнится на всю жизнь.
