Horrible equipment in mega-expensive rooms?
Miette... I love it, what a great name for a pet.The Gerrard on top of the Pioneer has a flip-over ceramic cartridge, useful for transcribing 78s. The Pioneer connected to a pair of RBH mini-towers under the kitchen window, out doors. There's a Harman Kardon 330 on the left side, had the Strathclyde 305-M on top.

The biggest [and most visible] bargain are the Infinity Primus speakers, a full 5.0 of my 5.1 [with three powered subs], 360s up from, 250s in back, C 25 in the center, Amvets, $80. I was given the Strathclyde.
This is a clear case of "be careful what you wish for". Had to get rid of all of it when I moved:

Which one is Marie Antoinette?Is this bread or cake?
Maybe, but as the ceiling is raked like a concert hall's, it probably sounds great.Can't imagine how this system sounds, but it seems like there's going to be a lot of reverberation.
