Whoever dreamed up this monstrosity must be insane. I could put together all this functionality easily for WELL under $10,000. $15,000 for packaging? Is their business plan to sell like three of these per year?
And what happens when the integrated Xbox360 gets the red ring of death? Yeah, it's happened to me. :(
Mr. E I respectfully disagree. You may be able to have the same functionality for under $10k but not the sum of it's actual parts. Icepower amps, Bryston pre/pro, AMX control system + remote is probably at least that much or more. Plus they have to recover their R&D costs and putting the thing together and supporting it. It's for custom installers that want to give their customers the best and when they are spending $500k for a home theater this is cheap and already put together.
