how is that a real high end system? it looks to have electronics from the 80's and a bunch of subs... they're playing a bass track and that's about it.

I googled those speakers but couldnt seem to find a price? what do they cost?

As for PC speakers Ill stick with my 4 year old Z 530's and My polk Theater for my tv:

CS-1 Center
Monitor 50s for the fronts
Monitor 30s for the rears
Velodyne VRP 1000 sub
Powered by a RX-v 460 soon to be an RX-V663 or 863

sounds good, nice and clear for my small room. I know they arent 3k-15k but thats not what I was going for lol.

Everyones gotta have a hobby! sounds like a fun hobby, guess I don't have the ear for it.

The Reference 0.5's originally retailed for $400
The Reference 1's originally retailed for $1500 I believe, but were dropped to $1200 before they were discontinued.
The Reference 100 (center) originally retailed for $1200 or 1000 but was dropped to $800 before being discontinued.
I'm not sure what the Reference 1.5's or 2's originally retailed for, but the Reference 3's were about $3.5K when they were discontinued. As far as I know the Reference 4 never made it to production.

I had two pairs of Reference .5's but sold one pair a couple months ago. The other pair currently live as my surrounds in my living room.
I have a pair of Reference 1's and a Reference 800 to complete the setup.

I had originally planned to save for a pair of Reference 3's but since they are discontinued I think I'll settle for saving up for the Ninja Master upgraded crossovers for my Ref 1's.

Do they have the ninja upgrade for the ref. 05s?

no. I asked about upgrades for the elt525M's but was told they already tweaked the crossovers pretty well and really could only use some bypass caps, but I haven't taken mine apart to see what values would be needed.

$672 for the crossovers/mods I want...
