"Ultimate" stereo in movie "The Italian Job

Watching a DVD of "The Italian Job" and remembered this audio scene:
Seth Green is discussing what luxury to spend his millions on and comes up with "a NAD T770 with digital decoders and 70 watt amps and Burr-Brown Dee-Ay-Cees...speakers so loud they blow women's clothes off."

While the idea that a thief would spend his booty on a killer stereo is right, the writer clearly didn't understand hi-fi other than to drop a few audio buzz words.

Hehe thats true. Should have said :"I want the Soundlabs Ultimate 1, with 4 Passlabs Power AMPs and the Orphues cable, and a huge room"

Since when did Hollywood start getting technical terms correct? That quote sounded pretty good compared to some of the engine or computer related stuff I've heard.

Yeah, after I put that Edelbrock hydroquad on the valvetrain, I knew I'd whip his ass.

Does anyone say "Dee-Ay-Cee" for DAC? I've always pronounced it "dack."

Or maybe they listen mainly to 80's rap... RUN dee ay cee... in da house!
