Libratone Live AirPlay Speakers: Gorgeous and Insanely Expensive

Sam Biddle &mdash;Despite having been out for quite some time now, AirPlay still isn't in as many sound systems as I'd hoped. So it's encouraging to see such a beautiful piece of audio gear. And dispiriting to see the price <a href="http://www.######dollusa.com"><strong>######shop online</strong></a> tag. The Libratone Live is, functionally, a fairly standard speaker bar. Belting out 150 watts of sound through five drivers (one 50W bass, two 25W tweeters, and two 25W midranges), the Live aims to be an "all-in-one," "plop-it-down-and-go" replacement for a real speaker system. Which, with AirPlay, is a great thing to have these days&mdash;and it looks fantastic. Maybe that's the <a href="http://www.######dollusa.com"><strong>vibrator orgasm</strong></a> problem. It's covered in cashmere, first of all. The handle is made out of chrome. It comes from Scandinavia. Add this all up, and&mdash;yup&mdash;the Libratone Live is expensive as hell, costing almost 2,000. That's a lot for a sound bar, especially when something like the terrific AirPlay-enabled Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin can be had for a quarter of that. So we appreciate the design and AirPlay action, but it'd be nice to have some higher-end options that aren't <a href="http://demonandangels.fb5.ru/displayimage.php?pos=-92"><strong>nike sb dunks design NBA players'shoes | Nike Shoes</strong></a> coated in an extremely expensive luxury fabric.
