Yes, we know that very few people can afford systems such as this one, but who doesn't like to dream about the system they would build if that lottery ticket came in?
And who knows, perhaps you can get a little bit of inspiration for your own set-up, maybe in the form of a specific component or even a unique solution to a problem.
Anyway, enough of the preamble. You want to read about - but, most importantly, see - this system, which certainly doesn't disappoint if you love movies, music and incredible views of London.

Zak Vracevic, owner and director of M.E.G.A. AV Installations, provides a tour of this award-winning project, which mixes audio-visual high performance, the customer's passion for music and movies and a wildly inventive approach to acoustic treatment.
Zak explains, “When the client bought a large two-floor penthouse with the aim of having more space for entertainment and music, we decided to ‘go all the way’ and make the project special.
“The main room on the 8th floor was 40 per cent glass windows and doors, but it had very good height, which allowed us to install everything above the windows and in the ceiling.”
