This made me laugh

I was bored and browsing around tonight and came across this 5.1 speaker system from Marantz: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882981013

I clicked on the reviews and found a one star review that caught my eye. It reads:

"Pros: I'm assuming it probably works...

Cons: It does not come with cables. You also need a multi hundred dollar amplifier to connect it to. Don't buy this expecting to be able to just plug it into your TV. Because it can't. I have no use for this now, but they won't let me return it."

I read this out loud to my fiance who generally doesn't have much interest or knowledge in this sort of stuff and she thought it was hilarious. I have to agree.

    I'm sure he spent some time with his TV remote looking for "Bluetooth Out."

    IMHO, MartinLogan seems to be hades-bent on trashing their rep with product like that. My guess is that Kief's is where they met; and is still in business:

    "MartinLogan was founded by Gayle Martin Sanders and Ron Logan Sutherland who met in the late 1970s at a high-end audio store Sanders managed in Lawrence, Kansas. Despite different backgrounds (Sanders had trained in architecture and advertising, Sutherland in electrical engineering) they shared a passion for music and electrostatic loudspeakers.

    Discussion of electrostatic speakers and the available technology led to Sanders and Sutherland to design and build an electrostatic speaker. Sanders organized a research and development team to transform a design he had tinkered with for more than a decade into a marketable electrostatic transducer."

    Sounds like the kind of guy who would complain, " I ate a whole box of diet cookies and didn't loose a single pound!"
