The ITC One from SE2 Labs is more of a "Frankenbox" than a typical "home theater in a box". This monster will literally crush most home theater in a box solutions, weighing in at 18 x 21 x 19-inches, more than 100 pounds. SE2 has taken the guts out of high end separate components, thrown out the redundant bits, consolidated the good parts into a single thermally designed chassis, and integrated it all with a single AMX control interface. When you get yours home, you've only got one set of connections and one remote to wrestle with. What do we mean by "high end"? We mean a Vidikron scaler, Bryston surround sound processing, ICEPower amplification, a choice of HD PVR solutions (currently DirecTV, Dish and Comcast), a XBox360+HD DVD, and other home theater automation parts as options. You'll know where your $20,000 went!
Holy Bejesus!
It is a pos.
Interesting concept, but if you could afford that, how about a rack of gear in the closet and a $5,000 custom install/remote setup that would not be in one 'box'.
Whoa.... the first word out of my mouth was a four letter word that is unprintable here. Needless to say, this beast will put out an amazing picture. With names like Bryston and Vidikron on the inside... Holy Crap!!!
Someone get a mop, my mouth is watering.
Well you really rolled all the best into one thing huh. I wonder if it would be cheaper to purchase all the components separately.
A friend remarked that it looks like a giant cappuccino machine. Maybe they should add a cappuccino machine to it and then it would be perfect.
