standard Logitech retail channel.
Apparently they want to push this high-end product throught the
traditional hi-fi channel with real stores where you could listen
Call it speculation, call it hypothesis. Whatever one calls such an exercise,
it is not the nomenclature that predicts its value. If speculation (or

poorly thought through, then, yes, it will be worthless; but if not,
Even if the Transporter is discontinued, did anyone really expect it to
be offered as a product for all eternity? Maybe the product lifestyle
is a little shorter than expected, but I certainly didn't/don't expect

Most likely. But companies do allow 'insiders to buy out the rights to

I see zero evidence of this, or any reason to say this. The TP is an

And that's the bottom line. It's not worth Logitech's time. What it
