Scott Wilkinson  |  Jan 08, 2011  |  Published: Jan 09, 2011
The Sooloos audio-server system from Meridian is an audiophile favorite, but the Control 15 with touchscreen interface is pretty expensive at $7500. New at CES is the Media Core 200 server, which uses the iPad or iPhone as the control interface and sells for $4000.
