    From CES

    Shitty YouTube videos: No longer the exclusive domain of drunken meth heads blowing up Pyle car subs and eBay merchants demonstrating the remarkably unexceptional sound of their mid-fi wares!

    Behold, Harman itself has joined in on amateur hour:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zYQGqKpDnk

    Watch in amazement as the magnificent splendor of this $100K+ system is displayed for all the world to see via the technological marvel that is full 480p quality YouTube video!

    The reviews are in:

    "Stunning!"
    - New York Times

    "Breathtaking!"
    - Consumer Reports

    "Not for the faint of heart or those prone to motion sickness!"
    - AARP Magazine

    "I shit myself again!"
    - Al Roker, Television Personality

    "I heard of JBL - they make iPod docks"
    - Man on the street, Arkansas

    "The Devil's work"
    - LDS News

    Watch today! You simply must see it to believe it!

    All kidding aside, nice as always to see them represented, and yes, I'd kill a man with my bare hands for that system.

    I like the Boz Scaggs track "Thanks to you" from Dig - that was one of the demo tracks
    when the Harmin' trailer did a demo in Virginia last year ...
    but them Yarbles yacking through the song are just annoying!

    FWIW it was like that in the early 80's too. Beatrice foods have a LOT to answer for.

    I got to hear it in person. But, they had this one guy with the remote in his hand sitting on the couch with his significant other. So I couldn't get into the hot spot. Anyway, they looked very pleased, haha.

    Ugh, and he probably got popcorn butter all smeared on the remote and left little kernels and bits all over the couch too. I hate those people - they're the worst!

    That was me and my wife dude... and you're just jealous because we didn't offer you any popcorn. It was gourmet with melt in your mouth kernels so - "look ma! no kernels!"

    My wife hit that remote before and after with hand sanitizer. That's just how she is.

    So that explains the alcohol smell - I figured the demonstrators were hitting the bottle; I would if I had to listen to the same damned album over and over and over again.

    That would be painful. I don't know how these guys do it. Answer the same inane questions over and over, playing the same 90 seconds of this followed by that... they deserve hazard pay.

    haha. I don't recall popcorn being served, but he could have brought is own into the room.
