Highly Overpriced Audio Streamer Shows Up And Well....It Is Overpriced!!

OK, so we have seen a lot of products over the years that we thought went over the top, but the media streamer from Linn might take the cake. They have released an audio streamer for the low low price of $20,000. That is right, $20,000 for a device to play your digital music. We aren't sure what sector of the audiophilie crowd this is appealing to, but we can only assume that someone out there is going to buy it. We have reviewed other high end streamers like the transporter in the past, but those we could actually see people buying. It offers very good quality for the price. We aren't sure what kind of components could possibly be inside the Klimax that pushes the cost up so high, but the only thing we can think of is that everything is made out of solid gold.

Linn makes great products in general, but on this one we think they went a little nuts. There is no way that any media streamer is worth this much money. Anyone that is buying this has no concept of money.
