Goldmund Eidos 20 BD Player - $17,000 - Blu-ray Forum

Clark Kent · 02-26-2008, 11:59 PM

Start saving now, here's the first look at Goldmund's $17,000 Blu-ray player. Now Krell or Meridian needs to get in the game.

Most here could probably afford this if they sold their car and were willing to bicycle...

A BD player that my TV can't show everything, my eyes can't see all it does, my sound system won't deliver, my ears won't hear and my budget won't let me buy

JasonR · 02-27-2008, 12:02 AM

It better get to sucking for that price...

ManUtd · 02-27-2008, 12:08 AM

I noticed they highlighted a few Pioneer components, thanks but I'd rather stick with my 95FD and save over $16,000.

Besides, I'm not feeling the white chassis.

[smartremark] If it costs you $17,000 to find that, something's up. [/smartremark]

lol. In any case, it better do a lot more than that. It better pull a Soundwave and turn into a Decepticon that is 20 feet tall somehow. And can take me places.

Damn, I need better hookers...

I paid over $1,000 for a single disc CD player, but even I have my limits!!!!

Sylin · 02-27-2008, 02:03 AM

That dude can put it in his $6,000,000 home theater.

Honestly, how many of these do they actually sell? MAYBE 100 in the US? Even if I was flush for this kind of discretionary spending, I'd still consider it obscene.

Pauliesr · 02-27-2008, 02:16 AM

I'll take two...just in case the first one gets dusty or something

musicman1999 · 02-27-2008, 03:16 AM

I would bet they sell all they can make, Golmund is a serious high end brand and i bet people with high end theater set ups are just waiting for something like that.

That's my back up blu ray player next to my ps3

JadedRaverLA · 02-27-2008, 03:56 AM

What's even better is in their full press release, they mention their $300,000 turntable!!! A $17,000 Blu-ray player seems like a bargain by comparison.

spend 1 or 2 grand on a blu ray player and invest the other $ 15,000 or $ 16,000.

Like you say, if it costs $300,000

for a turntable then the price of the Blu-ray player almost seems like they're giving it away. Who the hell would spend that much on a turntable, the mind boggles

To paraphrase that great quote from TopGun, "Son, your hobby (ego) is writing checks that your budget (body) can't cash."

They will definitely sell......don't forget, this country has alot of multi-millionaires.....celibrities.....sports stars......and of course, nutty audio/videophiles.
