Just to add my voice to the forum: I would definitely buy a squeezebox with integrated amp and speakers. I have a SB3 connected to my stereo, but, as many have said in this forum, I don't want to have to get speakers + amp + power supplies for every room. I'll use EnochLight's post as a start for mine (sorry about that 8-). EnochLight Wrote: > > [...] runs on batteries (optionally). > I haven't made my mind about that completely... But given that the main goal of the boombox would be portability, well, yes, I'd vote on that too. By the way, how about rechargeable batteries? Like a laptop, kind of. I haven't seen that in any other similar product (say, the Roku radio). One keeps it in the kitchen most of the time, or at least "docks" it there (every night or some such thing), but takes it out to the garden occasionally. No need to worry about batteries running out all the time, stocking extras of the right type, etc. I wonder what's the feasibility (power consumption) of powering a squeezebox on batteries.

For a device that would be producing sound in my kitchen, I'd also leave out the high quality sound outputs. Of course it has to sound decent, but that's about it.

And that might be possible without the sound outputs. And I wouldn't either want a boombox with the same features as the SB3. I don't think I'd ever put a significantly larger device on top of or beside my stereo... and then proceed to use the stereo's speakers instead of the built-in ones. For that we already have the SB3.
