I think the sticker shock is less pronounced if you think of it starting from scratch with a multi room setup in mind. All of you with 3 or 4 SB3's have equal capability at almost the same cost.
In thinking through the target audience for the duet, I am not sure that SD has yet hit the nail on the head. I would target families with two kids, with three different simultaneous but different listening needs. The kids make playlists on the fly, rarely listen to albums and would want to be able to control the music and play list creation from their room. If they have a computer with speakers then they can do it already. The adults listen to albums, not as much playlists, and probably like to see the music selection displayed in the living room. Three SB3's would solve this problem better than the duet, unless you buy three controllers, but you still need a computer for the kids to do their playlists. Squeeze center is not playlist friendly. There is a divide in the move from somewhat geeky audiophile to mass market but audiophile quality, and the key is understanding the target user. I think that target user should be a family, not the audiophile. -- Mongo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mongo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6329 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41813 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
