I was stuck by DevilEars comments as well.Let's talk about engineers first. I have a lot of respect for the best and brightest, but Linn is mostly known for the LP-12 and how many does it take to cost reduce and maintain the product? Over time, you get a lot of bloat.
Now back to the Devil, is 2-channel dead? No way! iPods prove it. The younger generation is as much into music as ever.
So then the question is where is high end audio or audio in general, going to be in 2 or 5 or 10 years. Digital baby. Network servers will hold the collection and it'll be beamed wirelessly through the house.
I haven't quite found the product yet, but what I'd like is a network attached storage device with 1TB, expandable to 2TB, with RAID and a wireless, secure connection to wireless access points with a great DACs. Sonus has the access thing already but they includes amps built in, so it's expensive but slick. Add remotes to distribute and control play lists to various locations and you've got the future.
