Recent equipment you hated, thought overpriced

Perhaps way back in 1991 your system was not resolving enough to hear the Tice Clocks. Have you by any chance listened to the Tice Clocks recently? One assumes your system is a lot more revealing now than it was in 1991.

My $10.00 "atomic" alarm clock is accurate to 1/10th of a second a year. Why would anyone pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for a timpiece that is accurate to 2-3 minutes a month? There's an audio analogy in there somewhere.

Back to the topic at hand: Though an old component, I nominate the Soundstream DAC-1 (designed in conjuntion with Krell!), for the uncoveted award. If one likes the sound of fingernails on chalkboards reflected by glass, then The Soundstream DAC-1 is for you.

At $17,794.50, I did not buy thisM&K Sound MP300 White Monitor Speaker 5.1 X12 Denon AVR-X5200W

But it seems a wee bit overpriced

I will chime in here;
I felt that this example supports Aerial 6t & 7t loudspeakers. Over-priced in comparison to performance.
Dynaudio speakers fit this category as well.

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

Don't like to bad rap stuff!!
