This system is built for quality, Audio, Video, even custom cabinetry. The display in this photo is a high end 85” Sony XBR. The speakers are custom wood Paradigm tower speakers. The custom matched cabinet hides all the equipment and the center channel. The larger the system the more equipment is needed to run it. This system is a 5.1 surround sound system with in-wall surround. Most people would say “I don’t need speakers that big”, but in fact control of the volume is in your own hands. The reason to have larger speakers is not to have it louder. The reason to have larger speakers is to have better sound quality. Better high frequencies and better low frequencies. Watch a video clip using a cheaper smaller speaker, then watch the video clip listing to a larger high-quality speaker – the difference will amaze you.
