Technology in hi-fi gone mad?

Most over hyped speakers plus Amazon's annoying gadget.

Not that it even works reliably!

I had a pair of the Wireless version on trial last month. Disappointing.

I was laughing at the marketing arse they employ.

Everything HAS to be wireless these days... :doh:

I had a group of under-25's in for a training course a week or 2 ago, they always bring tiny Bluetooth speakers and run them from Iphones. The wireless connection kept going down and they were amazed when I showed them how to plug the headphone out from a phone into the stereo installation in the hall. Sounded miles better than the tiny portable thing as well.

So old-fashioned - but it works. 8-)
