As far as being overrated, only Bose comes to mind, as far as what the general public thinks.
But I can't really come up with anything else. As to overpriced, well, that's a different story.
I have no doubt that Goldmund products are well-engineered, well built, and using those big slabs of aluminum are expensive. But the prices? I just don't see it.
Same with Audio Note (Japan)...I don't doubt they are extremely fine products, all that silver, but they MUST be overpriced.
"Statement" (top-of-the line) cables...thousands of dollars, jeez louise.
