An article appeared recently in the local newspaper extolling the features
of a $3000 per night hotel suite. The features included "...five plasma
televisions, including one above the four-person bathtub in the master
bedroom suite; a sauna; a walk-in dressing room; a full commercial kitchen
and a surround-sound home entertainment system with Bose speakers."

Maybe we "audiophiles" are missing the point. The only feature of this
"high-end" suite mentioned by brand name was the Bose speakers! Cosumer
excess and value are usually, if not always, mutually exclusive.
