Very unusual designs there. This one takes the cake:

What on earth is it?

Central vacuum cleaner?

Whatever it is, I'm amazed those cables aren't under armed guard. Probably enough there to be set for life, crooks robbing banks and jewellers are really missing a trick.

Not many bookshelf speakers were listenable, but these were phenomenal, playing wider and better than most other floorstanding speakers.View attachment 327628

I can imagine. It's funny how the more down to earth stuff is actually better usually. I'm amazed there's such a market for the super crazy stuff, even if I was a millionaire, I don't really think I'd go beyond £5000 for a pair of speakers, even that feels extremely opulent to me. Maybe I'm just common.

Incredible. All that money going into that CD player and yet they choose a kitchen cabinet hinge

Well spotted, lol, it really is.
So somebody at that company's wife has come home to find the Nespresso machine, possibly a blender as well is missing, and to top it all off she's opened a cupboard and the doors flapping around on one hinge.

@KU713 , Thanks for sharing your pictures from the hi-fi show. In years past, I often visited CES in Las Vegas. Fun way to see a wide variety of audio equipment, meet interesting people and effortlessly skip past the gadgets that didn't appeal to me. I always appreciated the hard work done by the innovators, the builders and the exhibitors.

For me, this was one of the best-sounding combos in last year's fair. In my - unprofessional - opinion, this system was much better in overall presentation than the components the company demonstrated this year.
