Myles, are those Emminent Technology speakers? The amps are using those big Kron tubes? Cool room, needs a bust of Julius Ceasar to finish the look.

I am guessing its a mix of ML digital, ML monos, Kronzilla monos, Aesthix phono stage or pre?

I saw those speakers a few years ago - in the Beijing World Trade Center ;-)
Sounded unfortunately really bad, but the funny thing was: salesguy wanted to sell me the whole caboodle for around 100000$, i had to tell him
a) did not have the money b) didn't want to shlepp the things back to where they actually came from ;-)

Man those Wilson's look like those feet fold up and the speaker takes off!

Alright Wizard, even more than usual...you have my full attention. I know those exact speakers exceedingly well, and given that this owner has an unlimited budget, i am intrigued that he still uses these speakers (which are roughly 15 years old). What is the story here?

1. What is the situation with those feet?

2. How is he powering this system? biamped? triamped? alternating amps? Burmester 909s and Pass monos? and an ML stereo amp?

3. Also think i see CJ equipment hiding in the back...ART 3? Is this an ARC preamp (Ref 5)?

Thanks for any guidance on this system, how it sounds and any understanding of the owners approach to this system, particularly his approach on speaker isolation/feet and electronics powering the speakers!
