I did not see an MSRP? I love Yamaha products, particularly their AVR's. They just make some very solid consumer audio gear. But, historically, Yamaha starts to really stray from the ranch with their pricing and features on these specialty audio devices.
Their (now defunct) original MusiCast 1000 and 2000 systems were very simple and solid systems that just plain worked. But compared to their competition, like the Olive music systems, the MusiCast systems were WAY overpriced, lacked features & functions, and required "proprietary" Yamaha software to add HD space or even backup the stored music (Olive simply had a USB port to do these basic functions). On current AVR models utilizing built in Internet Radio streaming Yamaha is far behind the likes of Pioneer and others for features and options and usability. Maybe this new Yamaha offering answers all of these previous stumbles on behalf of Yamaha, I dunno, but they clearly were not up to par versus their competitors on previous specialty audio gear offerings. :) -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=64669 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
