At $10,000, the Samsung UA55C9000 costs more than twice what an otherwise similarly specified, similarly sized, Samsung TV would sell for. So what’s so special about it? We reckon that several of the more extraordinary features justify that price.
Seems like every few decades we come full circle in this industry and there's no better example of that than the Apple-inspired deluge of portable speaker solutions built for your iPod... or MP3 music player from some other brand.
So enters Yamaha Music's TSX-100 desktop audio system which, getting back to the opening gambit on circular invention, looks exactly like one of those old Goblin Teasmaid machines that your Dad - or even you, if you're old enough to remember that 'Mad World' was originally sung by Tears for Fears and not Gary Jules - that used to sit on your bedside table and, charmingly, wake you up at a predetermined time with a lovely, hot cup of tea.
Anyhow, the $499 Yamaha TSX-100 is an iPod dock, of course, but also a CD player, alarm clock and AM/FM radio, handling MP3, WMA, CD-R and CD-RW, chucking out 20 watts of quality sounds when it's time for sleepy time to end. It also charges your iPod and comes with a remote.
