From the HE2007 web site:

"This year's event will focus on luxury living and highlight the high-end audio and home theater lifestyle that has influenced product design and function. Consumers will have three days to preview the latest in home entertainment products ranging from loudspeakers, turntables, HDTV, home theater systems, computers, gaming consoles, imaging products and much more. The first day of the show will offer a special preview to members of the trade and press."

"Luxury living?" "Lifestyle?" Uh-oh! When a hobby turns into a lifestyle it's a pretty good sign that I can't afford it.

Also (he said in nit-picking mode), there's no range in the sentence that promises us "...products ranging from loudspeakers..." a "range" would have a "from" and "to" wouldn't it?

But seriously, is this just bad ad copy or are we seeing a shift in emphasis from previous shows?
