$140,000 speakers? The sound quality better blow me away.

i voted for that. :D

"A heavily damped aluminum shell minimizes sound-distorting vibrations, while two additional base drivers mounted in the back produce a clean and open sound by eliminating room effects."

WTF is a base driver? Bass driver is what they wanted. I would have chosen that, but I already have speakers and 140k$ speaker would just be a pita for me in terms of physically moving them, setting them up, and insurance.

I'm not exactly blown away by anything on that list especially the $140k speakers. (what a joke!)

I'm going to go with the self-tuning Les Paul since I have to pick somthing.

I always liked KEF speakers, but at $140K they better blow me too.

I voted the speakers.

Computer chair is nice, but idea is not new.

Electric bicycle looks cool, but technically (range/speed) it sucks. Damn, for 8k I can buy a Tour De France-level bicycle (top of the line, best road bike you can imagine).

I-Theater - old ass idea, been done ages ago.

Night sleep gadget is pretty cool...

Vinovault - dunno, I don't drink, and tech is quite simple. But idea is great.

Robot guitar - I don't play guitar, can't comment

Fountain - bleh

Sony small PC - will be outdated in couple years

Eye-Fi and Transporter are nothing special or new. Altough I admit, concept of eye-fi is pretty cool.

I know gaming chair is not a new idea, but I'd pick it for my current needs :p My chair is just horrible.

i voted for the speakers, simply because they probably would be an upgrade, and if all else fails, i could sell them for a very nice profit.

If I really wanted one of the things on the list (which really isn't any of them) I would have to go with the guitar. That's pretty convenient.

I wonder how you're going to make profit if base item already costs 140k + tax?

As an audiophile the speakers were an easy choice. Anyone have an extra 140K + tax laying around they wouldn't mind donating?

I was gonna pick the home theatre glasses, but while they look cool, something tells me the actual execution blows, especially for only 300 bucks. I chose the Sony Laptop instead, that's pretty neat.

Wait till you try using the keyboard on that thing. Such a pain in the a$$!

That Renegade Gaming Chair looks like one my kids' booster seats in my car. Those KEF speakers look like they'll sound really bright/harsh.

I'd go for the Slim Devices Transporter if it didn't cost so damn much...

I have to vote for the bike. That thing looks really sweet! It'd be perfect for getting to all my classes.
