Exactly my toughts, since I already own a Squeezebox, $299 is very expensive for me right now for the Controller, altough on the flip side, is $100 cheaper than the Sonos Controller, so while I think the Sonos controller is "very-expensive", I think the Squeezebox Controller is just "expensive" :P But I think the main purpose of this is the Duet and first timers to the Squeezebox, since you'll get the Duet for $400, that in comparision with the Sonos for example, I think you'll need at least $750 for a similar setup (Sonos Controller + Sonos® ZonePlayer 80). Also I don't think a Squeezebox Receiver is very helpful without a Squeezebox Controller as mvalera says on this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41805&page=3 mvalera Wrote: > > One note about the SB Receiver, is that it requires the Controller for > network setup.
