Ah, the holidays. I am tightening up my wishlist as we speak which prompted me to search for things I will never see under my tree. Since home theaters continue to be hot, I thought we’d look at home theaters of the absurd. Enjoy!

SONY QUALIA SRX-R110, ($123,200)
SXRD is a “4K” projector that offers unprecedented features such as a 4096 x 2160 pixel resolution and a high contrast ratio. It uses a Silicon X-tal Reflective Display (SXRD) imaging device that enables it to achieve nearly four times the pixel count of current HD displays. That’s SMALL, Jeeves. On a 27-foot wide, 16:9 screen, each pixel is only about the size of the letter “e” in Liberty on a quarter.

Surround Sound Speakers: $675,000
Wilson Audio Alexandria X-2 ($135,000 per pair)
The Alexandrias are said to have amazing dynamic range, yet can play quietly with great nuance. Reviewers have been awestruck by their $44,000 baby brother, and indeed claimed that one’s baby brother at about $22,000 was top rated. So the pedigree is there, performance and price through the roof, and you can be assured this IS the audio BLING with Robb Report panache. Source: GreatHomeTheater.com
