Like any mass-vs-hobbist product there's not going to be one generic product that covers every need. Just like integrated cameras in smartphones aren't about to kill the high end camera market, integrated player software or simplistic products are not going to end the niche the SB products play in.
Is the SB something everybody should have in their home? No. But for many of us with audiophile aspirations and that view their music as a "collection" (and not a short term repository of current hits) the SB concept has and will retain a lot of appeal because of its range and flexibility. Will it be a large enough market for Logitech? Not sure, but that's a different question, and I am sure the market is large enough to attract someone's attention and cater to the SB installed base no matter what. -- pablolie ...pablo Server: MiniITX build w/Intel DH61DL & i3-2100T - Ubuntu 11.04 - SBS 7.5.4 Sources: SB3 (3), SB Boom (3), Duet (1), Radio (1), Accuphase DP65v CD (used as DAC mostly) Amplifiers: Accuphase E306v - Creek OBH21/22 Loudspeakers: Ceeroy 3-way tower (tuned) - Audioengine 5/S8 - Acoustic Energy Aego M Headphones: Grado SR-1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=87951 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
