hifi audio in movies


Hey everyone - I remember reading a thread here about never seeing high-end audio in movies (as props etc.) but I can't find it now. Anyway, I just got back from seeing Scorsese's "The Departed" and Matt Damon's girlfriend uses his full McIntosh system in one of the scenes, and it's a 2-channel rig! I didn't see any speakers but the MR85, MA6500 and one of their cd players are in full close-up view. I suppose Mc paid for that...but it is the first time I have ever seen anything like that in a movie. Have you seen nice gear in any other movies before?

In the first Laura Croft "Tomb Raider" movie ... Laura's preference in vinyl is a Clearaudio Master Ref.

You can see it in the scene where she is working out and her Mansion is attacked.

In the movie "What Women Want" (I think that's the name of the movie) with Helen Hunt and Mel Gibson, Mel has a pair of Revel monitors ... not sure what model, but they had that curved speaker grill
