I would be equally amazed if there were anything released that could be called an "SB4". I suspect the SB3 is the end of the line for that approach as well.
I can see some new products that would be variations of those already available. A receiver with an integrated power amplifier is almost a certainty. It further positions them against Sonos, and it's a higher margin bundle than the Duet that includes the expensive controller. Another idea is something with integrated amplifier, VFD and line and digital outputs (kind of a Boom without speakers, or a Squeezebox with integrated power amplifier and front panel controls, depending on how you want to look at it.) This is a product that I'd actually be interested in - much more so than I'm interested in the Duet or the Boom. If the amp were any good then you'd just add a quality pair of passive speakers. The front panel of the Boom is great - the knob in particular - and much better than that of the Transporter. It would just need a full width SB3 sized display, and a few more front panel buttons to work around the compromises of the Boom display and interface. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=52983 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
