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?

If we want to degenerate to TV, one episode of Smallville prominently displayed some electrostats (I think they were Sound Labs) at Lex Luther's mansion/castle. If I remember correctly they did some wild back lighting of the speakers. I think Lex's evil half-brother may have temporarily taken up residence. Lex just does not have that kind of cool.
