Kindle UK Review – Kindle UK, Europe, Canada

Amazon has an exclusive on the Harman Kardon GLA-55 2.0-Powered Loudspeaker System (Clear) – It’s available for pre-order at $999. I thought I’d do a little investigating on the GLA-55 (= GLA SS; see pic below) to understand why it’s $999.

A few thoughts on the speaker -

1. Harman Kardon make excellent speakers. $999 is way too expensive though.
2. Technical Features have some stuff I don’t understand, which probably means it’s really advanced -* Atlas and CMMD Transducers
   * Slipstream Port Design
   * 110 Watt Digital Power with DSP
   * COE (Computer Optimized Equalization)
   * OCT (Optimized Compression Topology)
3. Everyone seems freaked out by the price point.

Here’s a side view – the reflection of the Harman Kardons was barely visible so I left that out -
